“Stunning: so clever, so gripping, so timely.” --Lucy Foley

For readers of Girl A and Notes on an Execution comes a chilling kaleidoscope of a thriller about a woman on trial for murder, as told through the eyes of the most important men in her life.

Five men. Five stories. But are they ready for hers?

When four influential members are poisoned at London’s most exclusive private club, a young waitress is charged with their murder. Her personal life and upbringing are dissected, and five men begin to question how well they really knew her.

Her father remembers the sweet schoolgirl.

Her childhood friend bonded over a shared fascination with conspiracy theories.

Her lover regrets ever falling for her.

Her lawyer believes she is hiding something.

A journalist is convinced he knows exactly who she is: a cold-blooded killer.

But which is the true face of Katherine Cole? The reality lies somewhere between these very different perspectives.

What follows is a whip-smart and suspenseful story of privilege, passion and how a woman’s voice can be sidelined and silenced by society—and the shocking fallout when she decides to finally speak out.
