* THE HUGELY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE SMASH-HIT BESTSELLER, THE APPEAL *
'The pinnacle of modern crime writing' - IAN MOORE
'An absolute joy from cover to cover' - CHRIS BROOKMYRE
A New Play. Another Murder. A Town Full of Secrets...
It's a new theatrical season in Lower Lockwood, and the amateur thespians of the Fairway Players are starting rehearsals for their production of Agatha Christie's The Hollow. Despite troublesome new arrivals, countless petty squabbles and a gruesome accident with the lighting rig, surely this will be their greatest show to date?
But someone is hiding a devastating secret... and they won't make it to opening night. Could it be Sarah-Jane's sister, back in Lockwood after twenty years abroad? New member Lucas, whose shady business dealings may be his downfall? Or is it Issy, out of prison but still up to her old tricks?
Lawyers Charlotte and Femi must sift through the evidence to identify the victim and find out why the convicted murderer refuses to speak in their own defence... Will they uncover the truth in time? Will you?
Janice Hallett is the author of six Sunday Times bestselling novels: The Appeal, The Twyford Code, The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels, The Christmas Appeal, The Examiner and The Killer Question.
