From the publisher

THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER!

What if the most gripping true crime story you've ever read... was a complete fabrication?

True Crime Story by Joseph Knox is a masterfully twisted, internationally bestselling thriller that reads like a real cold case--because it's designed to. Told through interviews, emails, and transcripts, this jaw-droppingly authentic narrative blurs the line between fiction and reality so convincingly that readers routinely stop to Google: Did this really happen?

In 2011, university student Zoe Nolan vanished without a trace. No national headlines. No justice. No closure. Years later, struggling writer Evelyn Mitchell begins her own investigation--interviewing Zoe's friends, family, and witnesses, and sending her findings to crime author Joseph Knox. But something in Evelyn's story feels wrong.

As Knox digs deeper, a darker narrative emerges about the stories we shape, the truths we manipulate, and our uneasy obsession with real-world tragedy.

Perfect for fans of Only Murders in the Building and true crime documentaries, this genre-bending thriller delivers a hypnotic blend of cold case mystery, unreliable narration, and true crime meta-commentary that will leave you questioning every page.

Praise for True Crime Story:

"Knox has created a twisty, turny thriller that cuts through the heart of the modern true crime fascination, all while keeping us enraptured by it." -- BuzzFeed

"True Crime Story, by turns horrific and hilarious, is scandalously entertaining." -- The Times (UK)

"This is one of the most engaging cold-case novels I have read." -- Literary Review (UK)
