English Summary/英文概要： What would you do if the man you love was accused of murder? Bad things never happen to Charlotte. She’s living the life she’s always wanted and about to marry wealthy banker, Dan. But Dan’s been hiding a secret, and the pressure is pushing him over the edge. After he’s arrested for the vicious killing of a nightclub owner, Charlotte’s future is shattered.
Then she opens her door to Keisha, an angry and frustrated stranger with a story to tell.
Convinced of Dan’s innocence, Charlotte must fight for him - even if it means destroying her perfect life. But what Keisha knows threatens everyone she loves, and puts her own life in danger.
DC Matthew Hegarty is riding high on the success of Dan’s arrest. But he’s finding it difficult to ignore his growing doubts as well as the beautiful and vulnerable Charlotte. Can he really risk it all for what’s right?
Three stories. One truth. They all need to brace themselves for the fall.

“a strong and compelling debut by an author who has set the bar high and is primed to do interesting things in the genre.”- UNBOUNDBLOGZINE.COM
"One of the very best novels I’ve read in a long while. Claire McGowan will undoubtedly become a major name in crime fiction. This is an astonishing, powerful and immensely satisfying book that had me gripped from the first sentence to the very last. McGowan’s assured writing style and wry, razor sharp powers of observation make this in many ways the UK counterpart to Bonfire Of The Vanities."
