"Sophisticated, suspenseful, unsettling, and highly recommended: a terrific debut from an author to watch." —Lee Child, #1 New York Times–bestselling authorMoving and suspenseful, Lisa Ballantyne''s The Guilty One is a psychological thriller about the darkness in each of us. It explores how we are all tied to our pasts, and what it means to be guilty.Solicitor Daniel Hunter is called to defend eleven-year-old Sebastian who has been charged with the murder of a young boy on a London playground. While examining Sebastian''s life in order to save it, Daniel can''t help but be transported to his own difficult youth spent in foster care—a time when the one he trusted the most was the one who betrayed him . . .Emotionally wrought, and with an abundance of twists and turns, The Guilty One is a character-driven novel of suspense that explores the true nature of guilt."A first novel that is both moving and suspenseful; richly detailed, yet with the eerie simplicity of a parable." —Joyce Carol Oates, #1 New York Times–bestselling author"A page-turner." —Cosmopolitan (UK)"A child-on-child murder drives Ballantyne''s searing debut . . . [A] scalding exploration of childhood violence, adult refusal to forgive, and redemptive love." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)"This is a sensitive and insightful narrative that gradually builds suspense during Sebastian''s trial and Hunter''s revelations. Truth is revealed in the final pages, but Ballantyne leaves it to the reader to determine just where the guilt lies. An accomplished first novel and a good bet for book groups." —Booklist"Absorbing and compelling . . . A captivating debut." —Kirkus Reviews - Häftad, Engelska, 2021

The accused
While Nick Dean is enjoying an evening at home with his family, he is blissfully unaware that one of his pupils has just placed an allegation of abuse against him - and that Nick''s imminent arrest will see the start of everything he knows and loves disintegrating around him.
Because, mud sticks, right? No matter if you''re innocent or guilty.
The accuser
When Angela Furness decides that enough is enough - she hates her parents, hates her friends and, most of all, despises what has recently happened at school - she does the only thing she knows will get her attention: calls the police. But Angela is unaware that the shocking story she is about to tell will see her life begin to topple.
Because, once you''ve said what you''ve said, there''s no way back, right? No matter if you''re innocent or guilty.
Richard and Judy and international bestselling author of The Guilty One returns with a nail-biting ride of ''he said/she said'' between a teacher and his pupil. A gripping tale of two families torn apart by one catastrophic betrayal, illustrating the fine line between guilt and innocence.

Hän oli lapsi, jota syytettiin murhasta. Nyt hän on jälleen oikeuden edessä.
Pelottavan todentuntuinen ja ajatuksia herättävä trilleri vie hyvän ja pahan kaltevalle rajapinnalle. Kuka lopulta on syyllinen ja kuka syytön, kun oikeutta jaetaan sosiaalisessa mediassa?
Sebastian Croll oli vasta 11-vuotias, kun hän joutui syytteeseen leikkitoverinsa murhasta. Vaikka asianajaja Daniel Hunter onnistui vakuuttamaan valamiehet hänen syyttömyydestään, ei kuohuttava tapaus ole kadonnut ihmisten mielistä. Nyt, kymmenen vuotta myöhemmin menneisyys nostaa päätään, kun Hunter saa puhelun vanhalta asiakkaaltaan.
Sebastianin yliopistoprofessori on murhattu raa’asti, ja Sebastian on jälleen epäiltynä. Daniel ottaa Sebastianin puolustuksen tehtäväkseen, vaikka puheet tämän menneisyydestä leviävät sosiaalisessa mediassa kulovalkean tavoin ja Sebastian leimataan välittömästi syylliseksi.
Onnistuuko Daniel jälleen vapauttamaan Sebastianin syytteistä? Etenkään nyt, kun osoittautuu, että he molemmat ovat vaarassa.
Lisa Ballantyne on kotoisin Glasgowsta, Skotlannista. Jo hänen vuonna 2012 ilmestynyt esikoisromaaninsa Syyllinen oli myyntimenestys ja sen käännösoikeudet myytiin 30 maahan. Myös hänen kolme seuraavaa kirjaansa ovat olleet bestsellereitä.
