<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A strikingly original novel in the vein of DAISY JONES AND THE SIX meets Riley Sager, TRUE CRIME STORY twists together transcripts, emails, and documents into an investigation of a missing college girl, also weaving in the mysteries of how the narrator "Joseph Knox" came to be in possession of these files and what fate befell the original author, as well as why Knox might not be telling us everything he knows. Zoe Nolan disappeared from Manchester University in 2011. Her story was sad, certainly, but hardly sensational, Joseph Knox thought. As a crime writer, he felt that dead girls were everywhere, and the missing ones just didn't cut it. He wouldn't have given her any more thought were it not for Evelyn Mitchell. Another writer struggling to come up with a new idea, Evelyn attended one of Joseph's publicity events, and she was wondering just what happened to all the girls who go missing. What were the stories there? What happened to Zoe? So Evelyn began investigating herself, and sending Joseph emails with chapters of the novel she was writing with her findings. Uneasy with the novel's corkscrew twists and turns, Joseph pays closer attention to the real story...

Brilliant, compelling and original. - <strong><em>Steve Cavanagh, award-winning author of the Eddie Flynn series</em></strong></p><br><br><p>Riveting and relentless. A unique story, brilliantly told. - <strong><em>Terry Hayes, author of I Am Pilgrim</em></strong></p><br><br><p><em>True Crime Story </em>is phenomenal. One of the most original thrillers I've read in years, perhaps ever. A gritty, twisted murder mystery told in the unique style of a true crime account. I've rarely raced through a book so fast. I'm just gutted that it's probably ruined me for thrillers for a good long while! Absolutely remarkable. - <strong><em>Erin Young, author of The Fields</em></strong></p><br><br><p>Absolutely brilliant. I think it's a game-changer. - <strong><em>Martyn Waites, author of The Woman in Black</em></strong></p><br><br><p>Highly original and mischievous novel - a complete triumph. - <strong><em>John Boyne, bestselling author of A Ladder to the Sky</em></strong></p><br><br><p>Pure genius - all the things you want to a crime novel to be, also hilarious. I love it. - <strong><em>Jane Casey, author of the Maeve Kerrigan novels</em></strong></p><br>
