‘A pedal-to-the-metal white-knuckle thrill-ride that leaves you wrung out and breathless from sheer exhilaration’ Christopher Brookmyre

After nearly thirty years in prison for the fatal injury of his close friend Leo Bauer, Tyler Green is finally free. Reuniting with the group of friends who were there on the night Leo died, Tyler wants to reconnect – but he is also seeking answers.

When another friend is found dead that night, all evidence points to Tyler, putting his newfound freedom at risk. Detective Maud O’Connor is called to investigate – will she uncover the truth, or will Tyler Green never be free?
