When what you saw was impossible, is honesty always the best option?
When Esther Butler sees a man with a gun following a woman in the dark city streets, she doesn’t hesitate to call the police.
Minutes later in an empty building site, the man is dead. The police fired the shot. But when the smoke clears, there’s no weapon to be found.
Esther knows what she saw. Yet as her story begins to unravel, she’s forced to question not just her memory, but her own safety.
DC Josie Kaminski – assigned to the police team with the worst reputation in Leicester – is put on the case. But the deeper they dig, the more they find evidence linking Esther to the dead man and compelling reasons why she would want him dead.
As truth and lies blur, the team must decide who to believe. And Esther stands to lose more than she ever bargained for.
Not seeing myself on TV, movies, or in books when I grew up, I wanted to create characters I could relate to. I want someone growing up and questioning everything about themselves to see someone like them in my stories. I hope these characters mean as much to you as they do to me.
I've recently discovered the world of BL - boys love dramas - mostly Asian, with my favorites coming from Thailand. Watching these dramas with 2 boys in love at the center of the stories is so refreshing to see. I would have love to seen this kind of representation when I was young!
