Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.When young television producer, Fliss Benson, is suddenly put in charge of a ground-breaking documentary about miscarriages of justice involving a string of cot deaths, alarm bells ring.
Her boss, a man whose "weirdness" quotient she monitors on a daily basis from her office window, has long championed this high-profile project. It seems unlikely that he would relinquish it to a nonentity such as herself. So when it emerges that one of the mothers involved in the film has been found murdered, Fliss's suspicions about chalices and poison are confirmed.
Although the novel can feel overwhelmed by off-piste police procedural, Sophie Hannah fans will welcome the return of investigator Snowman Proust and sidekicks Simon and Charlie.
