Shutter Island meets The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle in this inventive and ambitious speculative courtroom thriller by L.J. Shepherd.
Lila Dalton has no memory of how she got to this courtroom. The man in the docks is accused of mass murder, and she’s his barrister – but she can’t remember anything about the case. She can’t remember anything at all.
Lila is stranded on an island hundreds of miles from the UK, where the most serious crimes go to trial. The next plane out doesn’t leave for days.
And she’s being watched. Someone keeps breaking into her hotel room to leave cryptic notes, threatening her with deadly consequences if she doesn’t get her client off ...
Can Lila Dalton win her case and solve the mystery of her own identity?
'Unputdownable ...'
Sophie Hannah, author of The Carrier
'Hannah Vanderheide perfectly brings Lila Dalton to life in a world in which nothing is what it seems. Lila wakes up to find herself in a courtroom without any memory of who she is or why she's there. Slowly, she discovers it's 1996, and she's a lawyer on a remote British island who is defending a far-right activist accused of a bomb attack that resulted in multiple deaths. Adding to the pressure, she believes her daughter's life depends on the outcome of the trial. Vanderheide's portrayal balances Lila's confusion and strength of character as she battles to learn what's going on and save her daughter's life. Vanderheide creates highly believable characters by allowing their personalities to develop as the plot unfolds.'
