Overview
Granite Noir: No Escape
Three stories surrounded by water, mystery and suspicion. Alice Clark-Platt’s luxury Malaysian resort surrounded by pristine sea and beautiful jungle, may seem the perfect escape but there’s tension brewing. In After the Silence, by Louise O Neill, can a true crime documentary expose the real truth of an island murder? In Tom Watson’s Metronome we meet Aina and Whitney who have been in exile on an island for a crime they committed together – as secrets and suspicions reveal themselves, can they escape?
