That Night

Imagine your sister phones in a panic while you are away on a family trip in Italy. She has been in a car accident and a man lies dead. Terrified of spending years in a foreign prison, cut off from her child, she begs you to help her. She insists it was not really her fault and asks you to cover for her, so will you do the same for her in return?

Once the police begin asking questions, the stories start to unravel. Both sisters begin to question whether they can rely on each other, and every account of that night raises new doubts. The novel moves between the two of them as the pressure builds, asking who is telling the truth, who is deceiving whom, and who will break first.
