The documentary will focus on three women: Helen Yardley, Sarah Jaggard and Rachel Hines. All three women are now free, and the doctor who did her best to send them to prison for life, child protection zealot Dr Judith Duffy, is under investigation for misconduct. For reasons she has shared with nobody, this is the last project Fliss wants to be working on. And then Helen Yardley is found dead at her home, and in her pocket is a card with sixteen numbers on it, arranged in four rows of four ...

Recensione:

When it comes to ingenious plots that twist and turn like a fairground rollercoaster few writers can match Sophie Hannah. (Daily Express)

This book's triumph is that it is not just a perfectly executed psychological thriller, but a pertinent meditation on society itself. (Guardian)

A remarkable novel, and an adventure to read . . . a first-class whodunnit that will keep you reading long into the night. (Scotsman)

'Sophie Hannah has quite quickly built a reputation as a superb writer of the psychological thriller built around domestic situations. And deservedly so. Her novels transcend the crime genre through the quality of the writing and the exploration of themes relevant to all our lives - jealously, love, justice and retribution. Hannah is also a poet, and it shows. Elegant, bright phrases gleam like gold thread through the tapestry of the novels, making them a pleasure to read.' (Booktopia, Australia)

Hannah is a master of intense psychological thrillers. (Heat)

Praise for Sophie Hannah (:-)

Beautifully written and precision-engineered to unsettle (Guardian on THE OTHER HALF LIVES)

Beautifully written and absorbingly chilling, this is a tale that steadily builds in tension, throwing up twists and turns that keep you guessing right up until the very end (SHE on THE OTHER HALF LIVES)

Bewitchingly elaborate . . . real emotional substance. (The Sunday Times on THE POINT OF RESCUE)

'Hannah's novels combine traditional police procedurals with intense psychological thrillers . . . compelling' (Weekend Herald, Auckland)
