Where Truth Ends

What happens when the truth is the first thing to burn? Perfect for fans of Jane Harper, Sarah Bailey and Christian White. Where Truth Ends is a taut, fast-paced Australian psychological thriller by the award-winning author of Three Boys Gone, Mark Smith. Meg Maher thought she was doing the right thing. Now she's on the run. When a peaceful climate protest ends with a violent explosion in the city centre, every member of the protest group becomes a suspect. The incident is declared a terrorist attack. But the authorities aren't the only ones hunting Meg. Scared and alone, Meg seeks refuge with her father, Luke, knowing that every word she says puts him in danger too. But as the terrorism investigation closes in, Meg is forced to question everything: her friends, her cause, even herself. Was her group of activists infiltrated from the start? Or has someone twisted their mission beyond recognition? Praise for Where Truth Ends: 'A superb and twisty thriller.'
