About this audiobook
The Beautiful Gaol Twenty-two bodies wash up on a Kent beach in one November night. The official file says drowning. Then a pathologist’s second opinion finds a wound that drowning doesn’t explain — and a private security contractor who reached the beach before anyone else, cameras already out.
Three lives are about to collide with the answer: a police officer who won’t let the file close quietly, a Whitehall man who has built a career on not asking the second question, and a girl crossing half the world alone after losing everyone who promised to bring her home.
They are converging on a place built to look like sanctuary — a beautiful room, behind a beautiful gate, in a beautiful country that has learned exactly how much cruelty a good enough story can hide.
The Beautiful Gaol is a novel about the distance between a policy and the room where the policy actually happens.
