Tyler Green Will Never Be Free: A Novel

From international bestselling master of suspense Nicci French comes a hair-raising locked-room thriller about a group of old university friends with a killer in their midst.

Old friends, new secrets, one deadly reunion.

Tyler Green, accused of murdering his friend Leo on a graduation trip in 1993, has just been released from a commuted life sentence. In the three decades since his trial Tyler has been adamant that he’s innocent, and now he’s determined to confront whoever allowed him to take the fall while they walked free.

On a warm June evening in London, Tyler summons eight of his university friends to reunite for the first time since that fateful night. With wine—and accusations— flowing liberally, the reunion descends into violent chaos, and one friend will end the night with their throat slit in the upstairs bedroom…the same way that Leo’s was in 1993.

When Detective Inspector Maud O’Connor gets called to investigate, she has her own doubts about Tyler’s guilt, despite what his old friends, the rest of the Metropolitan Police Force, and even the Home Secretary would like her to believe….

Tyler Green Will Never Be Free is perfect for fans of Lucy Foley and other pulse-pounding locked-room mysteries in the Agatha Christie tradition.
