Tell Me Something True - the astounding book club mystery from the No.1 bestseller

I look along the road and notice how many people are standing outside their houses or watching from doorways and windows. Staring. Studying.
''Do you think this town will ever forgive me?'' I ask.
''Not in a million years.''

Small towns are quick to anger and slow to forgive, but Arlo Hackett doesn''t expect mercy when he emerges from a twelve-year prison sentence and makes his way back to Yulara, a waypoint on Australia''s Great Southern Road. The last time Arlo was home, his brother Luke was charged with a terrible crime and Arlo was found guilty by association.

His return to the goldrush town is like cracking open a time capsule full of hatred and violence, along with memories of the people he loved - the ones he couldn''t save.

Yulara wants Arlo gone, or worse, but every insult and humiliation pushes him to confront what really happened all those years ago.

The truth will shock you, surprise you, and break your heart.
