Two young women vanish in a seaside town. At the cliff’s edge, nobody is who they seem.

A propulsive & twisty page-turner with razor-sharp sociopolitical insight, One of the Good Guys asks: if most men claim to be good, why are most women still afraid to walk home alone at night?

Newly separated from his wife & desperate to escape the ghosts of his failed marriage, Cole leaves London for a fresh start in the countryside. He accepts a job as a wildlife ranger & settles into his cozy seaside cottage, relishing the respite from the noise, drama, & relentless careerism that curdled his relationship along with his mental health. Then he meets Leonora, the reclusive artist living next door, & is instantly charmed by her warm & gentle spirit.

But as the two forge a connection on the cliff's edge they call home, two young women activists raising awareness about gendered violence disappear while passing through. Cole & Leonora find themselves in the middle of a police investigation & resulting media firestorm as the world learns of what happened. And as the tension escalates alongside the search for the missing women, they quickly realize that they don’t know each other that well after all.

“Araminta Hall’s latest, One of the Good Guys, is both a scintillating thriller & a scorching condemnation of how differently society treats men versus women, especially in the social media age. Cole & Lennie are flawed, complex characters who will stick with you long after you reach its shocking conclusion. Their relationship will make you reexamine your idea of fear, perception, & public opinion.” — KELLYE GARRETT, AUTHOR OF LIKE A SISTER & MISSING WHITE WOMAN
