La finalul fiecărei zile de muncă, avocata Alison Bailey se oprește cu colegii într-un bar, la un pahar de vin urmat de încă unul, și încă unul, până când devin mult prea multe și își pierde controlul. Partidele de sex scurte și brutale cu Patrick îi pigmentează viața. Fiecare dintre ele este ultima, numai că data viitoare tentația este prea puternică. În timpul acesta, soțul ei, Carl, are grijă de fetița lor, pentru că ea este o mamă pe care nu se poate baza. Tocmai când lucrurile o iau razna în viața personală, Alison primește primul ei dosar de omor. Distinsa, impecabila Madeleine și-a ucis cu cruzime soțul. La început, fapta apare ca inexplicabilă. Iar atunci când, în sfârșit, soția criminală acceptă să vorbească, realitatea se dovedește a fi un coșmar. Va reuși Alison să obțină pentru Madeleine încadrarea cea mai favorabilă și pedeapsa minimă? Va reuși să-și pună ordine în viața de familie? Iar Carl, este el soțul inocent și devotat care vrea să pară? Portocala sângerie este o carte despre lipsa devotamentului în căsnicie, despre impulsuri nestăpânite, despre violența domestică și pierderea respectului de sine. Dincolo de toate acestea, este un thriller psihologic cu o intrigă plină de răsturnări de situație șocante și cu un final absolut neașteptat.„Harriet Tyce aduce thrillerului domestic un nou nivel de întunecime viscerală, care dă dependență. Obsesia, dorința de răzbunare, pofta trupească și crima domină paginile acestei cărți în care o avocată încearcă să-și controleze viața în timp ce propriile porniri o sabotează. Șocant și fascinant... pur și simplu nu m-am putut opri din citit. Bravo!“ Sarah Pinborough, autoarea bestsellerului Prin ochii ei „Portocala sângerie m-a făcut să întorc frenetic pagină după pagină, disperată să aflu ce se întâmplă mai departe. O lectură superbă, compulsivă.“ Tess Gerritsen

După mai bine de zece ani, Sadie se întoarce la Londra, împreună cu fiica ei, Robin. Va trebui să locuiască în sinistra casă a copilăriei, să-și dea fiica la școala exclusivistă care nu-i trezește amintiri plăcute și să-și reia activitatea de avocat. La școală, sunt întâmpinate cu ostilitate, iar eliberarea pe neașteptate a unui loc pentru Robin are în spate o poveste sumbră și neclară. Primul dosar penal la care Sadie urmează să lucreze o tulbură sub aspectul adevărului și al moralității. Pe măsură ce lucrurile încep să se aranjeze la suprafață, când Sadie și Robin simt că au ajuns pe linia de plutire, zvonuri, semne și sentimente ciudate ies la iveală, iar neliniștea crește până la teroare. Nimic nu este ceea ce pare a fi. Totul este construit pe un eșafodaj de minciuni. După un regal de șocuri și întorsături de situație, Harriet Tyce reușește să păstreze surpriza până la final. „O carte captivantă, plină de răsturnări de situație, de la autoarea romanului Portocala sângerie.“ Sarah Pinborough, autoarea bestsellerului Prin ochii ei „Am citit Minciuni mortale în două zile, neștiind cum să dau paginile mai repede. Este densă și alertă, sentimentul că ceva nu e în regulă crește înfiorător; scrisă desăvârșit, cu un final absolut șocant.“ Lisa Jewell, autoarea bestsellerului O viață regăsită „Mi-a plăcut enorm Portocala sângerie, așa că abia am așteptat să pun mâna pe Minciuni mortale. Este o revenire triumfală, fiecare rând este incitant, bine scrisă, dă dependență, la fel ca cea dinainte.“ Sara Collins „O lectură alertă, cu o răsturnare de situație pe care o vei citi încă o dată, pentru că nu-ți va veni să crezi că nu ți-ai dat seama.“ John Marrs

Bara en natt till. Sen gör jag slut.

Alison har allt. En hängiven man, en förtjusande dotter och en karriär på uppgång. Hon har precis blivit tilldelad sitt första mordfall som försvarsadvokat. Men allt är inte som det verkar ...

Alison dricker för mycket. Hon försummar sin familj. Och hon har en affär med en kollega, vars böjelse för att testa gränser kan vara mer än hon klarar av.

Alisons klient förnekar inte att hon knivhögg sin man hon vill erkänna sig skyldig. Och ändå är det något med hennes historia som inte alls går ihop. Att rädda den här kvinnan kan vara första steget för Alison att rädda sig själv.

Men någon känner till Alisons hemlighet. Någon som vill att hon ska betala för det hon har gjort, och som inte kommer att sluta förrän hon har förlorat allt...
