I’m so fortunate to have a copy of The Trials of Lila Dalton by L.J. Shepherd on my TBR (indeed had life not been the trials of Linda Hill of late I’d have read it by now!) and am absolutely thrilled that Steven Cooper and Puskin Press have allowed me to give away a copy of this brand new thriller to a lucky UK reader.

Published yesterday, 1st February 2024, by Pushkin Vertigo, The Trials of Lila Dalton is available for purchase through the publisher links here.

Before we get to the giveaway, let me tell you about the book:

The Trials of Lila Dalton

You are standing in the middle of a courtroom.

The judge, jury and prosecution team are waiting for you to speak.

But you have no idea who you are.

Lila Dalton finds herself the lead defence for a man accused of a terrible crime, his fate in her hands. She doesn’t know how she got there, but is surprised to discover that she possesses legal knowledge, and that everyone else seems to know who she is.

Outside the courtroom, things are even more unnerving: the courthouse is on a peculiar island where the locals are hostile, threats are slipped beneath her door, and her phone calls are tapped. Hints from strange sources suggest that someone from her forgotten past is in very real danger — but are the threats genuine, or a warning from her missing memories?

As the trial progresses, Lila must decide who and what she can trust — and whether that includes herself…
