A man imprisoned for a crime he falsely confessed to is blackmailed about the crime he actually committed. A psychological thriller, shortlisted for the 2022 Joffe Books and Mo Siewcharran Prizes.

All Jay wants is to start again, to set himself up in a small, quiet town where no one knows him. Because here, no one will let him forget what they think he did the day his neighbour died in Flat 401.

He just needs to keep doing what he's always done: treat people with kindness and respect, and try to stay out of trouble. But when a threatening note - "Everyone is going to know what you really did" - makes its way into the hostel he's forced to call home, his hope for a fresh start begins to crumble.

Jay fears that the secret he's fought so hard to hide, that he went to prison to protect, might finally come out. How far is he willing to go to keep his freedom alive? And with a shadowy figure from his past tracking Jay's every move, perhaps it's not just his freedom Jay should be worried about being taken from him, but his life...

'Flat 401' is a tense, character-driven thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Paula Hawkins, Catherine Ryan Howard and Mark Billingham.
