Overview

She told the truth-and someone tried to rewrite it. When seventeen-year-old Florence Halloway uncovers a hidden truth about her father's identity, she does what she trusts most: she broadcasts it. Within hours, her livestream spreads beyond her control. By morning, Florence-and the rest of her family-have vanished. As the video goes viral, it pulls a long-buried case back into the light: the 2004 disappearance of Imogen Vane, a local girl whose face has never left the village that failed to find her. For years, her story belonged to memory, rumour, and grief. Now it belongs to the internet. But something about Florence's broadcast isn't real. The footage is too precise. The timing too clean. The fear too perfect. As Detective Mara Ellison investigates, the lines between past and present begin to blur. Evidence doesn't behave the way it should. A carefully constructed narrative begins to unravel. And at the centre of it all stands a storyteller who knows exactly how to shape the truth-and who might have been shaping it all along. Meanwhile, Florence is still out there. Alive, frightened, and running out of time before she becomes something far more dangerous than a missing girl- a story someone else controls. The Girl They Made Dead is a gripping literary crime thriller that explores identity, media manipulation, and the unsettling power of narrative in a digital world. Dark, intelligent, and emotionally charged, it asks a chilling question: Who owns the truth once it's been told?
