Liar

A date leaves teacher Laura Nielson and surgeon Andrew Earlham offering radically different accounts of what happened between them. The resulting investigation draws friends, relatives and police into a conflict over evidence, credibility and the consequences of being believed. Detective Vanessa Harmon works to establish the truth while trying to protect a private life shared with her military partner, Jennifer Robertson. Their relationship becomes personally entangled with events that reach beyond the original complaint, bringing questions of safety, family and support into the investigation. Across its two series, the thriller follows the widening impact of deception and sexual violence, with Vanessa and Jennifer’s experiences forming a continuing strand of that difficult story.
