Absolutely superb--grips like a vice throughout and has a perfect, bold ending that no one will see coming. An utter masterpiece of the murder mystery and the legal thriller genre.--Sophie Hannah, New York Times bestselling author of No One Would Do What the Lamberts Have Done and The Monogram Murders
A legal thriller unlike any you've ever read, this mind-melting page-turner is Tyce at her whip-smart best.--Ellery Lloyd, author of The Club
Internationally bestselling author Harriet Tyce returns with a page-turning thriller involving three teenage girls, one murdered classmate, and a chilling modern-day witch trial that will leave readers breathless.
Let the Witch Trial begin . . .
When eighteen-year-old Christian Shaw is found dead in a park, the city of Edinburgh is stunned--and the shock only deepens when police charge her best friends, Eliza Lawson and Isobel Smyth, with the murder. As social media explodes in a tizzy of theories and headlines scream for justice, rumors of bullying are overshadowed by something more wicked and frightening: whispers of dark rituals, feverish obsession, and a teenage pact gone wrong.
When the trial begins, everyone in Edinburgh clamors for a front-row ticket to the show: to look upon the murderous Eliza and Isobel with their own eyes. Everyone, that is, but Matthew Phillips, a respected heart surgeon picked for the jury. But, as the trial unfolds--and the girls' lawyers offer a surprising and unsettling defense--the reluctant Matthew finds himself questioning everything: the motives, the evidence, even his own judgement. Then he begins to have strange visions of terrifying things--hallucinations he tells himself. After all, witchcraft isn't real . . . or is it?
Who is telling the truth? Who can be trusted?
And what really happened to Christian Shaw?
