They Looked Away by Patricia Dixon

A chilling psychological thriller from bestelling Patricia Dixon, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Lisa JewellHe survived the spotlight. Now he must survive the truth.

Joe Jarrett thought he'd escaped his past. Once the charismatic frontman of one of the world's biggest rock bands, he now lives a quiet life by the sea, far from the fame and scandal that almost destroyed him.

But when his son brings home a new girlfriend, an explosive exposé thrusts Joe's former band back into the spotlight, reviving allegations of rape, murder and a young girl left to die on tour.

Then the letters begin.

As long-buried secrets resurface, Joe is forced to confront a night he's spent years trying to forget. Because someone knows the truth - and they're determined to make him face it.

Previously published as Venus Was Her Name.
