Description
'This compulsive thriller reads like true crime and had me guessing until the very end.' Reese Witherspoon
***
Three friends went on holiday.
Only two came back.
Ten years ago, after a sun-soaked summer in Greece, best friends Bess and Joni were cleared of any involvement in their friend Evangeline's death. Although they were found innocent, the case made them infamous and they've not seen each other since.
Except now Joni wants a favour, and when she turns up at her old friend's doorstep in need of an alibi, Bess has no choice but to say yes. After all, she still owes her.
But can you ever leave the past behind, when the whole world believes you're guilty?

'Slices to the core of a fraught friendship on the brink of disaster.' - PopSugar
