The Accused

She was found at the crime scene, covered in blood with the murder weapon in her hand and no memory of how she got there....

No wonder that the police believe Elizabeth Johnson is guilty of stabbing a young woman to death.

Only Elizabeth's best-friend, Sam Bailey, doesn't believe the evidence against her. But both girls are ex-cons and former prostitutes and she will have to go to extra-ordinary lengths to prove Elizabeth innocent....

Reviews

From the author of Ugly comes this brilliant, addictive novel

—— Star

Easy Meat is...a first-class story with a clever plot and believable characters, crafted by a writer on top form

—— The Times

Tautly written, beautifully plotted... I've never read such consistently good thrillers

—— Chris Patten

Richly imagined, fiendishly plotted, gruesomely evocative, this is the storytelling equivalent of 'shedeh' - the most prized of ancient Egyptian beverages

This much can be stated with assurance: this novel will be a huge hit with fans of the series, of Egypt-themed mysteries, of modern-day thrillers, and - what the heck - anyone not included in those groups
