About this listen

A woman is brutally assaulted in her own home by an intruder. She defends herself -- leaving her attacker dead.

But this is no ordinary woman. She's Natasha Winthrop, tipped as a future president of the United States.

When inconsistencies emerge in Winthrop's story, political troubleshooter Maggie Costello is drafted in to save Natasha's career. At first, Winthrop is hailed as a #MeToo heroine: the woman who fought back. But Maggie is soon forced to confront more troubling questions about what really happened that night. Did Natasha secretly know her attacker? Is there a link to similar attacks, in America and around the world?

Who is Natasha Winthrop - and what is she capable of?

Critic reviews

"Ingenious plot twists and insights into political campaigning, the Me Too movement and the darker side of the internet...this [is a] topical and thought-provoking thriller." (The Times)

"Completely gripping and original. Sam Bourne puts female anger, vengeance and power at the centre of this, his latest and to my mind most exciting novel, to thrillingly cathartic effect." (Hadley Freeman)

"A compulsive, zeitgeisty tale of gender politics and social-media manipulation. The perfect post-#MeToo thriller -- I gobbled it up." (Louise Candlish)

Story farfetched but entertaining and narrator was excellent. Wasn't keen on the graphic violence though!

Very well narrated

This story keeps you riveted and interested in the idea that the book could work in real life. So many twists in reality and social media. Yet again I really enjoyed this Bourne novel.

Ingenious ideas to question the law

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Lacked credibility both in plot and characterisation. Had to suspend disbelief too long to make it to the finish!

What a disappointment!
