Unseen by Heather Critchlow

Can a true crime podcaster track down a killer hiding in plain sight?

Bella Davies is cooking dinner for her family when she hears a voice she hasn't heard in a long time. She collapses in shock. The man being interviewed on the television murdered her mother and sisters.

The crime shocked the nation thirty-seven years ago. Back then, a man confessed and pleaded guilty to the crime, leaving Bella and her father to move on with their lives as best they could. But now Bella knows: they got the wrong guy.

Podcaster Cal Lovett is trying to move on from his own demons, putting the past behind him and focusing on building a new life. But then Bella shows up on his doorstep and he knows he can never truly move on...

A dark and thrilling crime fiction novel set in Scotland. Perfect for fans of Jane Casey, Claire Douglas and Neil Lancaster.
