Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil

Recently suspended from the London police force for misconduct, Bish Ortley gets caught in the middle of a high-stakes investigation after a bus carrying his daughter is bombed in France. The primary suspect is Violet, the teenage granddaughter of a terrorist who set off a suicide bomb in a grocery store years ago, an explosive device that Violet's mother had built. Violet is on the run, and Bish must earn the trust of her friends and notorious mother to find her. Using any means necessary, Bish gets caught up in a wild twisty chase, while dealing with his own personal demons. He must decide, is she guilty or is the killer still out there? Australian YA author Marchetta, winner of the American Library Association's 2008 Michael L. Printz Award for Jellico Road, makes her adult fiction debut with an exciting literary thriller that is full of surprises.
