In The Company Of Liars

Description

Truly original thriller, strikingly fresh and unpredictable. Told in chronological reverse, from its enigmatic end to its brilliant beginning, the novel is centred on a woman who is on trial for murder - Allison Pagone, a mother caught between competing forces. A prosecutor wants Allison convicted and put on death row. An FBI agent believes she can squeeze her into ratting on her family. A daughter and an ex-husband need to save their own skins. And circling them all, a group who would prefer to eliminate her quietly and anonymously...

David Ellis is also the author of Jury of One (also available from Turnaround), Life Sentence and Line of Vision. He is also the recipient of The Edgar Award.

An automatic book-of-the-year." - Lee Child "A nail-biting thriller." - People "A compelling new novel of intrigue, murder and terrorism." - Philadelphia Inquirer "An inventive, captivating and eminently satisfying novel." - Orlando Sentinel"
