‘A pedal-to-the-metal white-knuckle thrill-ride that leaves you wrung out and breathless from sheer exhilaration’ CHRISTOPHER BROOKMYRE

The new psychological thriller from the bestselling author of Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter? and the Frieda Klein series.

Some friendships don’t survive the truth.

Nearly thirty years ago, Tyler Green was convicted of killing his university friend Leo Bauer. Now, newly released from prison, he is determined to face the past – and the friends who were there the night everything changed.

But when one of them is found dead soon after their reunion, suspicion falls immediately on Tyler. If he killed once, surely he could kill again. As Detective Maud O’Connor investigates, the truth about that night begins to unravel – revealing secrets no one wanted exposed. Can Tyler ever truly escape his past, or is history about to repeat itself?

Taut, atmospheric, and psychologically razor-sharp, What Happened That Night confirms Nicci French as a master of suspense.
