WINNER OF THE VIRGINIA PRIZE FOR FICTION
When Briony Campbell confesses to killing her boyfriend, an apparently straightforward crime soon turns into a baffling mystery.
Haunted by demons from his past, lawyer S.J. Robin is assigned to the case. But as confusion – and the body count – rises, he’s forced to question who is guilty and who is innocent. Can he see justice served and hold on to the woman he loves?
REVIEWS
“Nikki Dudley’s latest novel shows that things are not always as they seem... The twist in the narrative is skilfully done and will keep the reader guessing until the very end.” – Ruth Dugdall, author of Nowhere Girl
OF PREVIOUS WORK:
‘Dudley’s indulgence of what the poet Charles Bernstein has called ‘writing centered on its wordness’ gives her poems their depth, their energy, their humour and their resistance of closure.’ – Colin Herd, poet
‘Nikki’s energy rustles behind each line, as she plays with familiar words and makes them at once more explicit and more unknown.’ – skylightrain blog
‘It’s a tale that will keep them wondering, gasping, thinking, smiling, grimacing, rereading. What more can a reader ask for?’ – Mike Lipkin, Noir Journal
