Rebecca Hardy
'Rebecca Hardy is a blazing new talent' HOLLY SEDDON
Eighteen years ago teenager Alex sent a man to prison. She, and her two best friends from school, overheard the vicious murder of a mother and child, although only she took the stand in court.
But despite her evidence, there were always rumours that the wrong man had been imprisoned. That although he was someone not to be trusted, he wasn’t a killer.
Alex has always known she did the right thing but when new DNA evidences comes to light and the conviction is overturned, the spotlight falls on her, the woman who sent him to jail. The woman whose mistake may have let the real killer evade justice for years.
And for Jonathan, Alex and Rachel, once friends for life, now strangers to one another, there are going to be many more secrets coming to light.
Because that summer, there were many different versions of the truth.

Critic reviews
A propulsive, twisty thriller that lands an emotional gut punch while asking us to examine what justice and retribution really look like. Rebecca Hardy is a blazing new talent (Holly Seddon)
The Summer We Lied is exactly the kind of character-driven thriller I love. A brilliantly constructed story with so many twists and turns it made my head spin. Highly recommend (Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious Things)
A fantastically twisty debut that keeps you guessing until the final page. Rebecca Hardy is an exciting new talent in the thriller genre (Sophie Flynn, author of The Other Miss Jones)
This elevated suspense novel is a beautifully drawn and impeccably observed account that captures the claustrophobic, corrosive burden of guilt (Chris Bridges, author of McDermid Award shortlisted Sick to Death)
