About

An Observer Best Debut Novelist 2026
Winner of the 2026 Ned Kelly Award for Best Debut Crime Fiction

In the town of St. Vincent, everyone knows everyone else's business. So, when Lily Lucid accuses the beloved high school music teacher Mr. P of sexual assault, rumours swirl and lines are drawn. On one side: Lily's former friends - the fiercely loyal girls who immediately set out to prove their teacher's innocence. On the other: all the adults who have already written them off as a lost cause.

The girls will stop at nothing to hold onto their dream of escaping their small, run-down town, their desperate mothers and absent fathers - and Lily's accusation threatens it all.

But how far out of control can they spin before there's no turning back?

'A powerful and evocative debut from a writer of great skill and deeply felt emotion' Observer

'I loved this book . . . raw, grungy and frenetic' Alice Slater, author of Let the Bad Times Roll
