Truth Lies Bleeding
About this ebook
Mathew Sedley returns home to his isolated cottage to find a dollhouse in his hallway. It's a perfect replica of his home - inside and out - except that this dollhouse has a miniature figure of a woman lying in a pool of blood on the spare bedroom floor.
A sadistic serial killer is terrorising rural Somerset. Each murder is heralded by the discovery of a dollhouse, an exact replica of the place where the body will be found. And every dollhouse is discovered by the same person - Mathew Sedley.
The police are convinced he's involved in the killings. He may have an alibi for the first murder, but he also has history. Mathew Sedley is not someone to be trusted. The only person who appears to believe in him is Lauren, an out-of-work actress with a passing relationship with the truth. She inserts herself into Mathew's life, saying she's going to help him prove his innocence, but she seems as interested in publicity as she is in detection.
Is Mathew Sedley a killer, a scapegoat, or the final victim?

About the author
Chris Dolley is a New York Times bestselling author, a pioneer computer game designer and a teenage freedom fighter. That was in 1974 when Chris was tasked with publicising Plymouth Rag Week. Some people might have arranged an interview with the local newspaper. Chris created the Free Cornish Army, invaded the country next door, and persuaded the UK media that Cornwall had risen up and declared independence. As he told journalists at the time, 'It was only a small country, and I did give it back.'
In 1981, he created Randomberry Games and wrote Necromancer, one of the first 3D first person perspective D&D computer games.
Now he lives in rural France with his wife and a frightening number of animals. They grow their own food and solve their own crimes. The latter out of necessity when Chris's identity was stolen along with their life savings. Abandoned by the police forces of four countries who all insisted the crime originated in someone else's jurisdiction, he had to solve the crime himself. Which he did, and got a book out of it - the New York Times bestseller, French Fried: One Man's Move to France With Too Many Animals And An Identity Thief.
