At the end of the day, only one question matters: did he do it?

'A daring concept executed to perfection' LEE CHILD


A young man stands accused of murder. The evidence is overwhelming.

It is about the woman he loves, who got into terrible trouble. It's about how he risked everything to save her.

He swears he's innocent. But in the end, all that matters is this: do you believe him?

Reviews

Timely, tense and original . . . Written with gritty authenticity, this is compelling and important A daring concept executed to perfection, a hypnotic and authentic voice, and questions for us to answer as readers and people A searing, heart-breaking, genre-bending crime novel that triumphantly reconfigures the traditional whodunnit into something remarkable

You Don't Know Me is a brave debut by a barrister . . . an impressively original courtroom drama

A startlingly original courtroom drama . . . perfectly executed, gripping the reader from the first sentence with the defendant's unique voice and not letting go until a surprising twist at the end. Mahmood is most definitely one to watch * * * * * A bold and original courtroom drama, You Don't Know Me heralds the arrival of a thrilling new voice in crime fiction You'll never guess the ending It's the voice that does it: edgy, conflicted, desperately urgent. A startlingly confident and deft debut You've never read anything quite like this The defendant's narrative is beguiling, philosophical, vulnerable An eye-opening, slick and compulsive thriller with an important message and unique writing This is an exciting first novel. To start with, it is highly original; what's more, it is cleverly plotted and convincingly written in a voice obviously not the author's own ... I was left admiring this novel. A must read for fans of Making a Murderer, Serial and those who like their crime fiction... edgy and provocative A dazzling debut - authentic, funny, sad, sympathetic. I was utterly gripped. Rich in understanding of human nature, acerbic on the rights and wrongs of the justice system A startlingly original debut from a criminal defence barrister, this story grabs from the very first sentence... utterly compelling throughout ... it is a stunning idea superbly executed

An original take on a courtroom drama that puts the reader in the position of the jury. Superb character-driven fiction. Masterful.

[A] riveting debut ... the defendant's narrative voice is so beguiling - eloquent, cocky, philosophical and vulnerable The best psychological thrillers that should find a place on your reading list this summer Timely, tense and original... Written with gritty authenticity, this is compelling and important Expand reviews
