Ever since her true-crime podcast became an overnight sensation and set an innocent man free, Rachel Krall has become a household name—and the last hope for people seeking justice. However, her voice is what people recognise her for, not her appearance. Which is why it's even more disturbing when she discovers a message asking for assistance written to her on the windscreen of her vehicle.
Rachel has been taken to a tiny town that is undergoing a tragic rape trial for the new season of her podcast. A swimmer who was supposed to be an Olympic champion and a local golden boy has been charged with raping the head of police's granddaughter. Rachel dives herself into her inquiry, driven by the need to make Season 3 a success, but the enigmatic letters don't stop arriving. Someone is following her, and she won’t stop until Rachel finds out what happened to her sister twenty-five years ago. Although Jenny Stills officially drowned, the letters strongly suggest that she was killed, and when Rachel begins to push questions, no one in the community is willing to respond. As Rachel discovers shocking similarities between the two cases—and a discovery that may alter the trial's outcome and the lives of all everyone involved—the past and present begin to collide.
Provocative and electrifying, The Night Swim poses the question, "What is the price of a reputation?" Is it possible for a tiny community to make amends for its past? And what really become of Jenny?
