The Fallout

At the school gates, there’s no such thing as yesterday’s news . . .

When Liza’s little boy has an accident at the local health club, it’s all anyone can talk about.

Was nobody watching him?
Where was his mother?
Who’s to blame?

The rumours, the finger-pointing, the whispers – they’re everywhere. And Liza’s best friend, Sarah, desperately needs it to stop.

Because Sarah was there when it happened. It was all her fault. And if she’s caught out on the lie, everything will fall apart . . .

‘A fizzing, unputdownable, gripping read’ Elizabeth Day

‘The perfect page-turner’ Susan Lewis

‘Secrets, lies, suspicion and betrayal: THE FALLOUT has it all – and then some’ T M Logan

A lead paperback original for spring 2020

The Rumour meets The Slap – this is a pacy, gossip-fuelled story of one mother’s mistake, and the huge ripple effects on a community already weighted with secrets

With huge commercial appeal and fantastic talkability, this is suspenseful women’s fiction at its very best

We’re planning an ambitious, long-lead campaign to make sure that no-one can escape The Fallout in 2020
