A dark, twisted psychological crime thriller
When a privileged student stumbles home covered in blood, urine, and bruises, he claims a teacher attacked him. The media explodes. The police are called. Careers are threatened.
But DCI David Riley isn't convinced.
Miss Fleming has a spotless record. Sebastian McBride has none. His wealthy father wants justice, or revenge, and he knows how to pull strings. But as Riley digs deeper, the story begins to unravel, revealing a toxic mix of lies, manipulation, and class warfare.
Meanwhile, Miss Fleming becomes a pariah. Vandalised. Harassed. Alone.
Until the truth surfaces, and by then, it's too late.
Sharp, brutal, and disturbingly believable, One of Them Is Lying is a chilling story of power, perception, and the slow-motion wreckage of a single lie. Perfect for fans of Happy Valley, Broadchurch, and Line of Duty.
