RICHARD ARMITAGE has done it again!

After the runaway success of his debut novel Geneva comes the chilling and atmospheric thriller The Cut.

Join us to hear this exciting new voice in crime fiction talk about his new book.

They say the camera never lies, but how long can you hide the truth?

Thirty years ago, one of Ben Knott’s schoolfriends was murdered. Another went to prison. The story ended and the village of Barton Mallett moved on. But as the murderer is finally released, the village is chosen as the unlikely location for a Hollywood film, with Ben’s son Nathan cast in the leading role. The film takes shape, and Ben begins to recognise the storyline from his own past. As Nathan becomes increasingly immersed in a tale of bullying and retribution, things turn dangerous, and an uncomfortable truth begins to emerge. Ben must choose between the safety of his children and reopening the wounds of the past.

‘Armitage has done it again. . . The Cut is a chilling, atmospheric thriller with characters you’ll never forget’ Harlen Coben.
