Olivia is on the school run when she gets the phone call.

Her grandmother has just walked into a Paris hotel – and confessed to a murder, committed years ago.

It’s unthinkable.

It’s impossible.

It’s only the start.

For the confession stirs up a long-buried mystery. And as Olivia hunts for the truth – winding through dark Paris side streets – the closer she gets to the person who’d do anything to protect it…

From the No.1 international bestselling author comes a story of secret pasts and buried memories. A MURDER IN PARIS is a thriller you’ll never forget.
