Haunting, compelling, this psychological thriller will have you hooked.
A night out ends in tragedy with two dead and one critically injured. Nicci Waldock survives, but her life is left in tatters. Years later, a sighting of Jack Bailey, the brother of her dead friend, leaves her with a shocking revelation.
Helped by former journalist Celia Henry, Nicci sets out to learn the truth about the accident, and discovers a series of lies and dangerous secrets that have been distorting everything she thinks she knows.
In a tense and gripping finale, Nicci must decide who she can trust, and who is about to kill again. And she realises that everything can be saved or lost in the moment before impact.
Selected Praise
“[Alison Bruce] always delivers ... Her latest is tense, twisty, terrific.”
“A powerful and absorbing story that stayed with me long after I’d finished reading. A writer at the top of her game.”
“Alison Bruce has long been one of the most adroit crime fiction practitioners in the UK. The Moment Before Impact is further proof that she has not ceased to refine her craft - it’s perhaps her most accomplished outing yet.”
