What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

'What happens to those girls who go missing? What happens to the Zoe Nolans of the world?'

In the early hours of Saturday, December 17th, 2011, Zoe Nolan, a 19-year-old Manchester University student, walked out of a party taking place in the shared accommodation where she had been living for three months.

She was never seen again.

Blending fact and fiction in his first stand-alone novel, Joseph Knox delivers a thrilling true crime story like no other.

Critics Review

Scandalously entertaining...Knox is a fantastic writer. His ambitious fourth novel satirises and celebrates the true-crime genre with glee ... by turns horrific and hilarious
The Times
Truly immersive: complex, disturbing, unexpectedly funny and very smart
The Guardian
One of the most engaging cold-case novels I have read
Literary Review
Knox the author pulls off a hybrid triumph: at once an old-fashioned whodunnit and a smart postmodern literary novel asking questions about the ethics of all editing, as well as the true-crime genre. Dazzlingly original.
Sunday Times
The gifted Joseph Knox continues his upwards trajectory...forging something original and innovative.
Financial Times
Best new fiction. Knox tears up the rule book, this bravura performance it's darkness leavened by very black humour
Mail on Sunday
This satire of the true crime genre is ingenious, funny and totally original
The Sun
Reads like a cinematic true crime documentary. Brilliant, compelling and original.
Steve Cavanagh
An absolute triumph. It sucked me in, chewed me up, spat me out and left me blinking like the moment the lights go on at a fuzzy basement nightclub. Phenomenal, current, bleakly devastating. An iron gauntlet in the guts. Loved it.
Matt Wesolowski
Highly original and mischievous novel - a complete triumph
John Boyne
