This haunting, beautifully written and beautifully crafted literary crime novel tells the story of Alice Salmon and what she leaves behind. 

Using a very original and contemporary structure of facebook posts, texts, tweets, diary entries, letters and exchanges with friends, T.R. Richmond presents a ‘whodunnit’ with a twist.

Told from multiple perspectives, Penguin has lined up an all-star cast for the What She Left audio book including Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), Imogen Stubbs (Sense and Sensibility) and Kerry Howard (Him and Her) in the leading roles. Listeners can expect a truly immersive experience reminiscent of the hit podcast Serial.

What She Left by T. R. Richmond (Audiobook Extract) Multi Cast Production

John le Carré introduces this extract from the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of A Delicate Truth, read by le Carré himself.

About the book:
A counter-terror operation, codenamed Wildlife, is being mounted in Britain's most precious colony, Gibraltar. Its purpose: to capture and abduct a high-value jihadist arms-buyer. Its authors: an ambitious Foreign Office Minister, and a private defence contractor who is also his close friend. So delicate is the operation that even the Minister's Private Secretary, Toby Bell, is not cleared for it.

Suspecting a disastrous conspiracy, Toby attempts to forestall it, but is promptly posted overseas. Three years on, summoned by Sir Christopher Probyn, retired British diplomat, to his decaying Cornish manor house, and closely watched by Probyn's daughter Emily, Toby must choose between his conscience and his duty to the Service.

If the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing, how can he keep silent?
