WINNER OF THE EDGAR AWARD 2019 FOR BEST PAPERBACK ORIGINALThere was a time when Jackie Reed knew her sons better than anyone. She used to be able to tell what they were thinking, feeling, if they were lying… But it’s as though every day, every minute even, she knows them a little less. Her boys aren’t boys anymore, they’re becoming men – men she’s not sure she recognises, men she’s not sure she can trust.So when one of her son’s classmates is killed in suspicious circumstances, people start asking questions. Was it really a hit and run? A car-jacking gone wrong? Or something much more sinister? Now Jackie must separate the truth from the lies.How did that boy end up on the road? And where was her son that night?Praise for A L Gaylin‘Right now, A L Gaylin is at the very top of her game, crafting exhilarating and audacious crime novels that are both rich in character and rivetingly told.

Other text

Quite extraordinarily brilliant…enthralling energy that burns page after page…Alison Gaylin is unquestionably a superb story teller. Her tight grip on descriptive prose and dialogue are quite simply a joy to experience, time and time again… Sharp, witty, furiously paced…If I Die Tonight is a total delight from first word to last and thereby cements A L Gaylin amongst the very best writers around
