Description
A ground-breaking debut novel that combines the investigatory pleasures of a legal drama with a provocative and literary exploration of the limits of empathy
'I loved this highly original and compelling story' Cathy Rentzenbrink
You are about to enter a novel formed of documents and evidence. Here is the blog of a nurse on a dialysis ward attempting to live in the aftermath of bringing a rape trial to court in which the defendant was exonerated. Here are the transcripts of the police interviews with her, and the accused, the emails and texts between them submitted for trial; his journal, his conversations on 4chan, his drama scripts, him, him, him. How will the nurse, Corina, ever get him out of her head?
This is a highly original debut novel that will win plaudits for its inventiveness at the same time as it compels the reader with the pleasures of suspense and family drama. Provocative, blackly funny and moving, it announces a new voice unlike any other.

Featured Reviews
Robin P, Reviewer
As soon as I read his opening words Nat Ogle grabbed hold of me and refused to let go until I had reached the end. He is a very seductive writer despite the darker than dark themes he explores with razor-sharp precision. It is a bold writer indeed who takes on rape, kidney failure, suicide, terminal cancer, legal injustice, homelessness, and a burning hostel all in one novel and even bolder still to do that in a debut.
Nat's debut is innovative, thought-provoking and stunning. I have a strong feeling there is a lot more to come from his pen. I sincerely hope so.
