In Conversation with Mark Smith

What if everything you believed in was a lie? Truth and betrayal collide in the new Mark Smith thriller, perfect for fans of Christian White and Lisa Jewell.

Meg Maher thought she was doing the right thing. Now she's on the run.

When a peaceful climate protest ends with a violent explosion in the city centre, every anonymous member of the group becomes a suspect.

But the authorities aren't the only ones hunting Meg.

Scared and alone, Meg seeks refuge with her father, Luke, knowing that every word she says puts him in danger too. But as the terrorism investigation closes in, Meg is forced to question her friends, her cause, even herself. Was the non-violent activist group infiltrated from the start? Or has someone twisted their mission beyond recognition?

What happens when the truth is the first thing to burn?

Where Truth Ends is a taut, character-driven thriller by award-winning author of Three Boys Gone Mark Smith, about when the fight for change becomes a fight for survival.
