True Crime Story by Joseph Knox
'What happens to those girls who go missing? What happens to the Zoe Nolans of the world?' In the early hours of Saturday, December 17th, 2011, Zoe Nolan, a 19-year-old Manchester University student, walked out of a party taking place in the shared accommodation where she had been living for three months. She was never seen again. Blending fact and fiction in his first stand-alone novel, Joseph Knox delivers a thrilling true crime story like no other.
