What to expect
THE FIRST TWO MURDERS WENT UNNOTICED. BUT THE NEXT WAS HER SISTER…
A terrifying yet unputdownable thriller from No. 1 bestselling author and award-winning journalist Jonathan Freedland.
SHE CAN’T SAVE HER SISTER
Journalist Madison Webb is obsessed with exposing lies and corruption. But she never thought she would be investigating her own sister’s murder.

SHE CAN EXPOSE THE TRUTH
In a United States that has yielded to the People’s Republic of China, corruption is rife – the government dictates what the ‘truth’ is. With her life on the line, Madison must give up the story, or face the consequences…
