TILL
WE MEET AGAIN
THE NEW NOVEL
FROM THE NUMBER ONE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF FATHER UNKNOWN
You killed two people,’ Beth said. ‘ You are likely
to spend the rest of your life in prison because of it.’ Susan
looked up again. Her eyes had just a faint spark in them now. ‘It
was worth it’, she said.”
When they were children, Beth Powell and Susan Wright spent every August
together in Stratford-on-Avon. Susan was shy and plump, Beth was tall
and skinny. Both girls were loners because of their unhappy family backgrounds:
Susan had a live-in granny suffering from dementia, and Beth a vicious
bully of a father. But alone together, never admitting their problems,
they were happy.
Until fate intervened and separated them.
It’s twenty nine years later when they meet again. Susan is a
down-and-out who has shot two people in cold blood, and Beth is the
lawyer allocated to defend her. And as Beth prepares her defence by
trawling through her old friend’s tragic past, she has to face
her own demons.
Yet the love the two women had for one another as children is still
there, even as the evidence against Susan mounts up. A love that must
be stronger than the traumas of their past. Because for one of them,
there can be no happy ending…
