The real-life investigation behind the hit Netflix series, from two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLD DAGGER AWARD

She said she was raped.

Police said she lied.

She was made to retract the report – but the nightmare only got worse.

On 11 August 2008, eighteen-year-old Marie reported that a masked man had broken into her home and raped her. Within days, police – and even those closest to Marie – became suspicious of her story. Confronted by these minor inconsistencies and doubt, Marie broke down and said her story was a lie. The police charged her with making a false report.

Two years later, Colorado detective Stacy Galbraith was assigned to a case of sexual assault. It bore an eerie resemblance to a rape that had taken place months earlier in a nearby town. Joining forces with the detective on that case, Edna Hendershot, the two soon discovered they were dealing with a serial rapist. As their investigation deepened, it became clear that numerous police departments had extremely similar cases on their hands – and that Marie's story bore an eerie resemblance to the cases they were investigating.

Unbelievable is a chilling tale of doubt, lies, and the hunt for justice, unveiling the disturbing reality of how sexual assault is investigated and the long history of scepticism toward its victims.

Reviews

Brilliant detective work, very well told.

—— Evening Standard

Disturbing and meticulously researched, this is a vital book for the #MeToo era.

—— Stylist, Best True Crime Books Ever Written

An important and necessary book that tells a complicated, uncomfortable story clearly and with great power.

—— i paper

With meticulous forensic detail, this true story is as disturbing as it compelling.

—— Sunday Mirror

A well-written, profoundly rational analysis of the trial and, more specifically, the lawyers who conducted it.

—— USA Today

Engrossing . . . Toobin's insight into the motives and mind-set of key players sets this Simpson book apart from the pack.

—— People

An insightful account of what went on at the most notorious murder trial in American history.

—— Heat

The People V O.J. Simpson is a completely fascinating, in-depth book … whatever you think you know about the O.J. Simpson case, you don’t know the half of it … this book provides a captivating look at the trial of the century, which is as compelling today as it was 20 years ago.

—— Culture Fly

The book is excellent…highly recommended for anyone interested in this case or indeed in real life cases generally. Well written and informative.

—— Liz Loves Books

This is a book to read regardless of whether you've seen the show or not. Because even if you don't intend to watch, after you read this, you will.

—— Irresistable Targets

As eerily persuasive a read as you'd expect from one of the country's top barristers... Kennedy lays bare a panoply of injustices that explain the rage unleashed post-Weinstein... Kennedy’s vivacious prose and plentiful research yields a pacy, important read that both elucidates the current climate and offers sage pointers on where to go next

—— Gwen Smith , i

A passionately argued eye-opener…both a deeply depressing read and a hugely energising wake-up call for anyone concerned with justice, diversity and human dignity

—— Gemma Simmonds , The Tablet, **Books of the Year**

Compelling… The marginal advances that have been secured fade into irrelevance in comparison with the horrific chronicle of shortcomings that exist for women in the courts…bang up to date… Kennedy writes well and illustrates her cases with heartrending individual examples

—— Julia Langdon , The Tablet
