About the Book In The Ledge, the past and present run breathlessly parallel, leading to a cliff-hanger nobody will see coming. This is a mind-bending new novel from the master of the unexpected. 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. The Ledge is a propulsive thriller that asks the question: How far would you go to help a friend? Alternating between then and now, it’s the story of four best friends and what happens when one of them goes missing. Unfolding at a breakneck pace, The Ledge races towards an earth-shattering twist and a climax where nothing is as it seems. Christian always wanted to write a coming-of-age story, a love letter to all the movies and books that shaped him as a teenager. |
