'Thrilling, thought-provoking, suspenseful' S.A. COSBY

THE WORLD KNOWS HER AS THE GIRL IN CELL A.


Convicted of murder at seventeen, infamous killer and true crime celebrity Orianna Negi has always maintained her innocence.

BUT IF SHE DIDN'T KILL GIDEON WYCLERC...

Orianna has a blind spot over that fateful day: she can't remember what happened. Forensic psychologist Annie Ledet is tasked with unlocking the truth.

....THEN WHO DID?

Orianna grew up in Eden Falls, ruled by the insular Wyclerc dynasty and its ruthless patriarch , Amos. As their sessions progress, Annie reaches into Orianna's past to a shattering realisation....

Scandal. Sex. Power. Race. And murder. Between guilt and innocence lies a fallen Eden.
