Publisher's Synopsis
Your assailant is murdered. Did you do it?
When her friends drag Alice out to a speed-dating night, she has no inkling just how bad it will turn out to be.
The next day, Alice wakes up in a stranger’s house with no memory of the night’s events, just a terrible feeling.
After returning home, she finds a bloodied knife in her room. And hears the news that the man who must have drugged and assaulted her has been found dead.
Alice falls under suspicion. Not least from herself. But was she really capable of such an act?
And if she didn’t commit the crime, who did?
