This Nowhere Place





The Girls meets The Dry in this tense and atmospheric drama about loyalty, lies and obsession

Mo, Cali, Jude.

Three teenagers befriend each other on the white cliffs, thinking they'll save each other.

Within months, two of them are dead and the third is scarred for life.

Ten years later, documentary-maker Tarek Zayat and his film crew are in town, asking difficult questions, looking for secrets in the silence around that fateful summer.

Because in the shadow of the white cliffs it's easy for stories, histories and people to get lost. And in a small town, the truth is something that must be carefully unburied - in case it buries you.

Praise for This Nowhere Place

So refreshing. A thriller, a page-turner, thoughtful and thought-provoking

Sabine Durrant

Sterling work . . . an astutely written, complex debut . . . even seasoned genre aficionados will be surprised . . . an assured outing

Guardian

Cunning . . . will have your brain working in overdrive as you try to second guess Natasha Bell's ingenious plot and as you reflect on her thought-provoking observations on art, love and family life

S Magazine, Sunday Express

An intelligent, taut thriller which was beautifully written and compelling. I loved how the author played with the whole theme of life imitating art. Full of twists and turns I couldn't put it down. I thought the ending was perfect!

Claire Douglas

A smart, original page turner which really brought something different to the thriller genre. It kept me up half the night!
