ELEVEN LIARS

Following on from one of 2022's biggest crime thriller debuts, this novel returns to Ben Harper as he exposes a web of lies in Haddley after a body is discovered in a burnt-out community centre.

With Ben's help the boy escapes, only to flee the scene before he can identified. Now the small town of Haddley is abuzz with rumours. Was this an accident, or arson?

Then a skeleton is found in the burnt-out foundations.

And when the identity of the victim is revealed, Ben is confronted with a crime that is terrifyingly close to home. As he uncovers a web of deceit and destruction that goes back decades, Ben quickly learns that in this small town, everybody has something to hide.
