About this ebook
'A twisty tale full of surprises with a nail-biting finale. I didn't want it to end' Sarah Ward, author of The Death Lesson Leonie is on a jury deciding the fate of a nurse accused of murder. But just as deliberations begin, Britain comes under attack and the courthouse is locked down. Ordered to stay put for their own safety, the jurors soon realise the real danger lies inside the building. The accused has escaped his cell and he's playing twisted games with the group. Because he knows something about Leonie. She isn't on the jury by chance, and her reasons for being there are more personal than anyone suspects. As trust fractures, how far will Leonie go to tip the scales of justice in her favour? READERS CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS HEART-POUNDING LOCKED ROOM THRILLER: 'So tense, so eerie. . . I was terrified.
