The Date - by T H Murdock (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"WOW... I found my debut of the year... I could not put this smart and pacy thriller down so I read it from the gripping start right to the shocking ending in just ten hours flat! I highly recommend." Jo Callaghan, bestselling author of In the Blink of an Eye

What would you do if your first date ended in murder?

A year ago, after a perfect date, Miles Deverill was charged with murder. The handsome young actor became front-page news when he was accused of killing Caira Kennedy, a social worker he had just met that night.

Now acquitted, Miles can't escape the past. He tries to rebuild his life, but journalists won't leave him alone. And then the threatening messages start--in Caira's own voice: this is not over. Is she still alive or is someone playing a twisted game?

Desperate to escape, Miles joins friends on a remote road trip. But deep in an isolated forest, one of their group is murdered. Someone close to Miles knows exactly what happened on his date--and this time he has to face the truth. Guilty or innocent, there is nowhere left to run...
