The Fallout, Paperback

The accident.
The lie.
The fallout will be huge . . .

When Liza's little boy has an accident at the local health club, it's all anyone can talk about.

Was nobody watching him?
Where was his mother?
Who's to blame?

The rumours, the finger-pointing, the whispers - they're everywhere. And Liza's best friend, Sarah, desperately needs it to stop.

Because Sarah was there when it happened. It was all her fault. And if she's caught out on the lie, everything will fall apart . . .
