Set in a leafy London suburb, The Only Suspect follows Alex and Beth, a devoted couple whose picture-perfect suburban life hides a devastating truth.
Moving between the present day and mid-90s Camden - at the height of Cool Britannia - the story opens during the sweltering summer of 1995, when a young man buries a body during a violent storm. Who the victim is, and why they were killed, is a mystery that tantalisingly threads through the narrative as past and present collide.
