'Unputdownable' Sophia Hannah

'A heady, ambitious mix of courtroom drama and dystopian mystery' Daily Mail
The Trials of Lila Dalton follows Lila Dalton as she finds herself in the middle of a courtroom as the barrister for a man accused of a terrible crime. She has no memories of her life before this moment.
Outside, on the strange island where she is staying, things are even more unnerving: hostile locals, tapped calls, threats slipped under her hotel door. Hints from mysterious sources suggest that someone from her forgotten past is in danger - but are the threats genuine?
As the trial progresses, Lila must decide who and what she can trust, and whether that includes herself...
