"Everyone's telling a different story. Who do you believe? From an exciting, original voice in fiction comes a page-turning, can't-look-away story about the dark side of fame.

""I'm a prisoner. I'm not allowed to leave. There is someone watching me every minute of the day.""

Media superstar Melanie Lange has disappeared.

Her father, billionaire business tycoon Sir Peter Lange, says she is a danger to herself and has been admitted to a private mental health clinic.

Her ex-husband, Finn, and best friend, Nell, say she has been kidnapped. They are deeply concerned for her safety.

The media will say whichever gets them the most views - no matter what the cost.

But whose side are you on? And where is Melanie?

Told via interviews, transcripts and diary entries, The Ugly Truth is a shocking and addictive thriller about fame, power and the truth behind the headlines."

Reviews for The Ugly Truth: An addictive and explosive thriller about the dark side of fame

The Ugly Truth is fresh, compelling and searing in its exploration of the toxicity of social media and the reality of modern celebrity. Not to be missed! * Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS * A whipsmart and ingenious thriller for our times. Compellingly narrated in snippets of mixed media, The Ugly Truth homes in on our toxic addiction to celebrity. It is a tour de force! * Lesley Kara, bestselling author of THE RUMOUR * #FreeBritney meets The Appeal in this addictively unique thriller. Get ready to be utterly hooked. North is one of my all-time favourite writers. * Jack Jordan, author of DO NO HARM * Original, timely, thought-provoking and an absolutely brilliant read. * B. A. Paris, author of BEHIND CLOSED DOORS * Totally fresh and very clever. A very enjoyable piece of fiction that made me reassess my own views and prejudices about people in the public eye. * Emily Edwards, author of THE HERD *
