'The view swung easily and smoothly, showing that the front door hadn't been forced, showing the scuffing of the carpet, the first flecks of blood at the top of the stairs. It shifted to a child's bedroom, lingering for a moment on stuffed toys before moving on. Then, an unseen hand must have pushed open the master-bedroom door. Her blood had soaked the bed brown-black. Not a pool, but a complete colour dip for the crumpled sheets and bedding on which the woman had been left, face-down. . . .
The police had twenty-four hours in which to interview the suspect and establish a good reason, if one existed, to charge him with the murder. The interviews make fascinating reading, as the officers grow increasingly frustrated at his obstinacy and at the near-perfect quality of his alibi. Then the police realize that there is a source of potentially new and interesting evidence available to them: a computer that has been seized from the suspect's house. . .'

The breathtaking new thriller from bestselling author Gerald Seymour.

'I can only read Tony Strong with all the lights on.' Tony Parsons

Ros Taylor wakes from a drugged sleep in her North London flat to discover that her flatmate, Jo, has been raped and murdered; and that she has been sexually assaulted. But Ros can remember nothing.
During the investigation that follows, Ros becomes increasingly close to one of the detectives. He admits that the police know who the killer is, but don't have enough admissible evidence to be certain of a conviction.
So Ros decides to lie. She tells the court that she can identify the accused man as her attacker.
But her action has unexpected and unwelcome repercussions. As events spiral out of control, she realizes that neither the police nor she herself understand what really happened that night. Soon she discovers that she is capable of things she never thought possible - and that sometimes the truth can be even more dangerous than a lie.
In Tell Me Lies, master storyteller Tony Strong has crafted an ingenious, taut and horribly believable novel about crime, passion and the shifting, unstable nature of reality.
