The Simple Truth

byJames Buckler, Steve John Shepherd (Read by)

A gripping, twisty, thriller that you won’t be able to put down, perfect for fans of Anatomy of a Scandal and Showtrial

The eagerly anticipated new thriller from James Buckler, acclaimed author of LAST STOP TOKYO.

A young woman is found dead at a renowned beauty spot, in what police quickly deem to be a bizarre suicide. But her family are convinced there's more to the story. Maria had recently been fired from her job as a climate scientist at a clean energy company, and her mother is sure that the billionaire CEO, Robert Carlson, had a hand in her death. The family want answers - and they're prepared to fight for them.

Lewis Miller, an ambitious young lawyer, is tasked with smoothing the situation over. But when he meets Maria's mother, he can't help but be intrigued by her claims. Going against the orders of his bosses, Lewis starts to investigate what happened to Maria - but he soon learns that the more questions he asks, the more danger he finds himself in.

'A British take on John Grisham's The Firm ... the interlocking circles of the plot are well oiled and the narrative of greed and corruption timely.'
