Where Truth Ends - 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 member of the protest group becomes a suspect. The incident is declared a terrorist attack.

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 everything: her friends, her cause, even herself. Was her group of activists 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 what happens when the fight for change becomes a fight for survival.


'A superb and twisty thriller.' Sally Hepworth

'Where Truth Ends had me gripped from the opening pages. Mark Smith is fast becoming one of Australia's very best writers of thoughtful, morally complex thrillers. I can't wait to see what he does next.' Mark Brandi

'Eerily prescient, this story is ripped straight from the headlines. Full of genuine "what would I do moments," I read it with a sense of dread. It's very much a one-more-chapter kind of story.' Sarah Bailey

'Taut, paranoid, compelling. A cat-and-mouse thriller, where climate action heats to fever pitch.' Matthew Spencer
