The Seven Truths of Hannah Baxter
Finalist for the prestigious International Thriller Writers Thriller Award
First truth: In three days, I’ll be dead.
Second truth: You won’t find me in time, so don’t even try.
Third truth: I am somewhere nearby, but nowhere you can reach.
Fourth truth: My name is Hannah, and if you think you know me, you don’t. You never did. None of you.
Fifth truth: I will tell you things you don’t want to hear.
Sixth truth: You will watch me die.
Seventh truth: Some of you will suffer before I do. I have three days. How long do you have?
Hannah wants the whole city to know the pain she feels - even if it means her own death. Having locked herself in an underground bunker with limited air to protest the rape, humiliation and suicide of her teenage classmate, Hannah is broadcasting her slow death while revealing secrets about the boys who raped her friend. Racing to find her is Child Protection Officer Ian Quinn who once had Hannah as a client. And as Hannah’s live broadcast attracts more and more viewers, the stakes rise as the secrets she is sharing prove damaging to some very powerful and dangerous people.
