Media Reviews
From small lies do big lies grow. Until they are unstoppable and your whole life depends on them. This is the background to Tony Strong's new, unputdownable tale of rape, stalking and murder. Based on a true story, it is the tale of two lively girls living in London and enjoying life to the full. But maybe too full for one day Ros returns home from work early and the direction of her life is changed forever. Waking up from a drug-induced sleep the following day she finds her flatmate murdered in the shower, herself raped and their flat burgled. But she is unable to recall any of the events. It soon becomes clear that the police know who the perpetrator is but are unable to prosecute due to lack of firm evidence. Ros takes a momentous decision, believes the police and lies in court to convict him, pretending her memory has come back. But the consequences soon turn into a nightmare worse than ever imagined, resulting in lie upon lie hiding truths that are always likely to raise their ugly heads when least expected. Excitingly written, clearly plotted but enigmatic till the end, this is a story that could happen to anyone - and did. - Lucy Watson
