WINNER OF THE QBD AWARD FOR BEST FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR

From the bestselling author of The Wife and the Widow and The Nowhere Child.

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.

In The Ledge, 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.

'Christian White is the master of the big twist. I loved it.' CHRIS HAMMER

'The Ledge is a coming of age story where not everybody comes of age. I promise you won't see the twist coming.' MICHAEL ROBOTHAM

‘It is not enough to say that it is unputdownable. If his other books hadn't before, this novel certainly cements Christian White as an incredible, chilling voice in the Australian crime genre.' READINGS

Christian White’s novels play with my mind. The plot, characters etc synthesise after I have finished the story like a pot of soup heating up and bubbling away on the stove. There are twists, likeable characters, the story unfolds without effort and bang there you are - left with an ending that you didn’t see coming.

You won’t see it coming…… and you won’t want to.
