Exposed

"She could not shake a terrible feeling of dread, a feeling that out there, somewhere, in the streets of London, someone was watching her. And planning to kill her."

Valerie Pierce is reinventing herself. After more than thirty years as an outspoken columnist for a scandalous right-wing tabloid, the Daily Ear, she wants to renew her personal brand and be seen as a more moderate and thoughtful commentator. She knows she hurt many people over the course of her career, and likely destroyed many lives. But her own private life suffered, too, and she is attempting to rebuild her relationships with her estranged daughter and ex-husband.

But people are dying, people that Valerie used to work with. Every three days, at 9pm, someone connected with the Daily Ear dies. Valerie can see the pattern, and senses a serial killer is at work. But when no one will believe her, not even the police, Valerie hatches a plan to catch the killer. Only she must team up with the one person who has the knowledge and resources to help. Her nemesis, gay television actor Adam Jaymes.

Exposed is the sequel to Paul Ilett's 2014 novel Expos, a darkly comical thriller that became a surprise hit across multiple genres.
