His was a homecoming watched round the world—but was he an innocent victim or a coldhearted killer?

After serving five years for the murder of his wife, Trevor Lamb was a free man . . . thanks to idealistic lawyer Jude Dilanchion, whose bestselling book, Lamb to the Slaughter, cast doubt on Trevor’s guilt. It was just like Jude, thought Verity Birdwood, to fight for the wrongly imprisoned, even when Jude himself would be the first to say Trevor Lamb was a manipulative bastard.

So now the prodigal son was returning home to the bosom of his family, with Jude in tow. And Birdie, on assignment for ABC-TV, is joining them to get the first interview with the newly released prisoner. But soon after their arrival in Hope’s End, another murder takes place . . . leaving Birdie to scrabble for the truth among the lowlife Lambs and a town steeped in bloody secrets.

About the Author:

In her native Australia, Jennifer Rowe is widely recognized as an acclaimed novelist and a former editor of The Australian Women’s Weekly. Before creating the Tessa Vance series with Suspect, she wrote four crime novels featuring TV researcher Verity “Birdie” Birdwood, as well as several stand-alone suspense novels. Ms. Rowe has been called the “Agatha Christie of Australia”—and with good reason; she shares Dame Agatha’s passion for complex, puzzle-driven stories populated by vividly depicted heroes, suspects, and villains. Under the name Emily Rodda, Jennifer Rowe has also written stories for children—five of which have won the (Australian) Children’s Book of the Year Award.
