Why a Booktrail?
2000s: What would you do to protect your family? Anything.
That Night
What you need to know before your trail
During a family holiday in Italy, you get an urgent call from your sister.
There’s been an accident: she hit a man with her car and he’s dead.
She’s overcome with terror – fearing years in a foreign jail away from her child.
She asks for your help. It wasn’t her fault, not really. She’d cover for you, so will you do the same for her?
But when the police come calling, the lies start. And you each begin to doubt your trust in one another.
What really happened that night? Who is lying to who? Who will be the first to crack?

Travel Guide
A tale of two cities
Verona and Birmingham in one novel? There’s not much in the way of locations to be fair, but the cities provide a backdrop to the action. One is a city that they family run to, the other they run from.
Verona
Known for its attachment to Shakespeare which is apt given the tragic nature of what happens in the book
Birmingham
A city that has a shopping centre named after an animal that charges with full force and tends to smash into everything in a china shop. Again, good analogies for this book.
