When human remains are discovered in a forest, police are baffled, the locals are shocked and one group of old friends starts to panic. Their long-held secret is about to be uncovered.

It all began in 1999 when sixteen-year-old Aaron ran away from home, drawing his friends into an unforeseeable chain of events that no one escaped from unscathed.

In The Ledge, past and present run breathlessly parallel, leading to a climax that will change everything you thought you knew. This is a mind-bending new novel from the master of the unexpected.

Industry Reviews

'Christian White is the master of the big twist. I loved it.' - Chris Hammer

'The Ledge is a coming of age story where not everybody comes of age. I promise you won't see the twist coming.' - Michael Robotham

'Supremely tense and emotionally vertiginous, The Ledge is yet another superlative thriller from one of my very favourite writers.' - Anna Downes

'The Ledge, White's fourth thrilling novel, certainly lives up to the hype'. - The Weekend Australian

'The Ledge is a story of innocence lost, and while clever it most certainly is, it's also profoundly moving in its portrayal of fatherhood. Not to be taken lightly, this one'. - The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald

'It's brilliant, twisted, and downright gruesome. If only I could re-read it for the first time again!' - Better Reading
