After the first season of her true crime podcast became an overnight sensation and set an innocent man free, Rachel Krall is now a household name. But she’s used to being recognised for her voice, not her face. Which makes it all the more unsettling when she finds a note on her car windshield, addressed to her, begging for help.

The small town of Neapolis is being torn apart by a devastating rape trial. The town’s golden boy, a swimmer destined for Olympic greatness, has been accused of raping a high school student, the beloved granddaughter of the police chief. Under pressure to make Season Three a success, Rachel throws herself into interviewing and investigating - but mysterious letters keep showing up in unexpected places. Someone is following her and she won’t stop until Rachel finds out what happened to their writer’s sister 25 years ago. Officially, Jenny Stills tragically drowned, but the letter insists she was murdered - and when Rachel starts asking questions, nobody seems to want to answer.

Electrifying and propulsive, The Night Swim asks: What is the price of a reputation, and can a small town ever right the wrongs of its past?
