WHICH STORY WILL MAKE THE CUT?From the bestselling author of GENEVA'Emotive, explosive & does not disappoint.' ★★★★★ 'You cannot predict where it will go.' ★★★★★ 'So many twists & turns.' ★★★★★ 'Absolutely brilliant.' ★★★★★ You saw her dieThirty years ago, one of Ben Knott's schoolfriends was murdered. Another went to prison. The story ended. The village of Barton Mallett tried to move on. Now her killer is backAs the murderer's sentence ends, the village is chosen as the unlikely location for a feature film by a Hollywood producer, with Ben's son Nathan cast in the leading role.
