The tense, chilling story of four women haunted by a childhood trauma from the international bestselling author Kanae Minato.

From the bestselling Japanese author of "Confessions", "Penance" is a dark tale of revenge and psychological trauma. Four women who, as childhood friends, were tricked into separating from Emily - their fifth friend who was later tragically found murdered - have been paying the price for their mistake ever since...

Taut, unsettling and relentlessly engaging, CONFESSIONS is a book with claws, in more sense than one. I defy any fan of smart, unconventional crime writing to set this novel aside once they've started it.
