“A chilling, atmospheric thriller with characters you’ll never forget.” Harlan Coben
The Cut, described by Mark Billingham as “a proper bloody thriller”, is a compelling and atmospheric story of obsession, betrayal and revenge.
Thirty years earlier, one of Ben Knott’s schoolfriends was murdered. Another went to prison. The story ended, and the village of Barton Mallett tried to move on. But as the murderer’s sentence comes to an end, the village is chosen as the unlikely location for a feature film by a Hollywood producer, with Ben’s son Nathan cast in the leading role. As the film takes shape, Ben begins to recognise the storyline - from his own past. As his son becomes immersed in a tale of bullying and retribution, things turn dangerous, and an uncomfortable truth begins to emerge. How much is Ben willing to risk to protect his family - and himself?
