*THE FIRST EVER STAND-ALONE FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER*

WHO KILLED LUKE RYDER?

When Guy Howard’s stepfather is found dead in the garden of their family home, the police are baffled. No-one saw anything. No-one heard anything.

Someone knows the truth.

Years later, a true-crime show re-examines the evidence – with shocking results. Do the experts know more than they’ve been letting on? Or does the truth lie closer to home?

One by one, the secrets begin to emerge.
