The Permit

A suspicious death. A grieving father. And a journalist hellbent on finding the truth.

When journalist Audrey Lord is asked by her former boyfriend's father to find out what happened to his son Jack, she's keen to help. She left Bennington and Jack, for good reason two decades earlier, but Jack's death looks suspicious, and this feels like a chance to make amends with the past.

With the help of Jack's father, Leonard, they start digging and find themselves drawn into Bennington's underworld. Jack's workplace is a minefield of government "minders" and property developers with too much power. It's hard to see the truth and know who to trust. But powerful people want Audrey's investigation stopped and they will go to any lengths to silence her.

Can Audrey find the truth before it costs her everything?
