**NOW A MAJORNETFLIX SERIES**

We Need to Talk About KevinmeetsThe Secret History.

The air is hazy and grey with gunpowder smoke. Everyone has been shot but me. I haven't got so much as a bruise....

Is Maja a normal eighteen-year-old, the poster girl-next-door, popular and excelling at her schoolwork, caught in the middle of a terrible tragedy Or is she guilty of the tragedy itself

Either way, everyone knows her name. She has spent nine excruciating months in jail, awaiting trial for a mass murder that killed her boyfriend and her best friend, and now the time has come for her to enter the courtroom...

WHAT WILL YOU BELIEVE

This is the 'compelling and brutally candid' (DailyMail) story of a girl whose guilt was decided long before her trial - as searing as it is timely and moving.
