The Night She Lied

Every family has secrets. Would you kill to keep yours? It's midnight in the hospital when Jude's phone rings, interrupting her precious fifteen-minute break. When she sees it's her seventy-year-old mother, Margaret, she braces herself for the usual complaints. But her blood runs cold at four words that will change everything... 'Something terrible has happened.' Margaret has been accused of an unspeakable crime committed twenty years ago. She insists she's not guilty, and begs Jude to help her prove it. But as Jude is drawn into the dark secrets of her family's past, she starts to question whether her mother is really as innocent as she claims to be. Soon, Jude realises what happened twenty years ago is more entangled with her own life than she could ever have imagined. And as she stands face-to-face with her mother's accuser, she knows the cost of protecting her family will be someone else's life...
