Greenlight Benjamin Stevenson
ISBN: 0143789872 Год издания: 2018 Издательство: Penguin Books Australia Язык: Английский Four years ago Eliza Dacey was brutally murdered.
Within hours, her killer was caught.
Wasn’t he?
So reads the opening titles of Jack Quick’s new true-crime documentary.
A skilled producer, Jack knows that the bigger the conspiracy, the higher the ratings. Curtis Wade, convicted of Eliza’s murder on circumstantial evidence and victim of a biased police force, is the perfect subject. Millions of viewers agree.

Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret Бенджамин Стивенсон
ISBN: 9780063412866 Год издания: 2024 Издательство: Mariner Books Язык: Английский There are quite a few differences between an Australian Christmas and the stereotypical Northern Hemisphere fare.
For one, we don’t get snow. And, in my specific experience, there tend to be more murders.
Which brings us here.
After having solved two relatively high-profile murders, my third case begins when a body drops dead at my feet during a Christmas pageant.
I’m writing this all out on Christmas Eve, and honestly, this whole thing’s an advent calendar. 23 clues and a killer, because the best chocolate’s always behind door number 24.
But getting there won’t be easy. Because this Christmas, everyone has a motive. So it’s not a matter of who wanted the victim dead – but who got there first… -
Trust Me When I Lie Бенджамин Стивенсон
ISBN: 9781492691150 Год издания: 2018 Издательство: Sourcebooks Landmark Язык: Английский Eliza Dacey was murdered in cold blood.
Four years later, the world watched it unfold again on screen.
Producer Jack Quick knows how to frame a story. So says Curtis Wade, the subject of Jack’s new true crime docuseries, convicted of a young woman’s murder four years prior. In the eyes of Jack’s viewers, flimsy evidence and police bias influenced the final verdict…even though, off screen, Jack himself has his doubts.
But when the series finale is wildly successful, a retrial sees Curtis walk free. And then another victim turns up dead.
To set things right, Jack goes back to the sleepy vineyard town where it all began, bent on discovering what really happened. Because behind the many stories he tells, the truth is Jack’s last chance. He may have sprung a killer from jail, but he’s also the one that can send him back.
