Someone is rewriting history . . . One death at a time.
Historians and Holocaust survivors dead in mysterious circumstances. Museums and libraries burning across the world. Digital records and irreplaceable proof, lost for ever.

A thriller for our times, To Kill the Truth takes the era of 'fake news' to its terrifying logical conclusion - with explosive results.
