Is she is the only person prepared to stand up for what is right...?Praise for Witness the Night:'Terrific' Toby Clements, Telegraph'No "next-best-thing" novel has been as literary, bold and compelling as Witness the Night... it is a taut, gripping and complex thriller with two enigmatic heroines at its core ...
