'Blackly humorous and enjoyably twisted' Paula Hawkins author of The Girl on the Train 'A
knotted mystery too intriguing to leave unpicked' Alice Slater author of Death of a Bookseller
'Binge-worthy . . . a brilliantly immersive and almost cinematic experience' Jenny Mustard
author of Okay Days Recently dumped and stuck with the mortgage artist Esther Ray wants to
burn the world but instead she reluctantly accepts a scrapbooking job from the deliriously
wealthy Naomi Duncan. The scrapbooks a secret birthday gift for Naomi's husband Bryce trace
the Duncan's twenty-five-year marriage. The conditions: Esther must include every piece of
paper she's been sent must sign an NDA and must only contact Naomi using the burner phone
provided. Otherwise she'll spoil the surprise. As Esther binges true-crime podcasts and works
through the near-two hundred-boxes of Duncan detritus she finds herself infatuated with the
gilded family - until mid-project Naomi dies suspiciously. When Esther becomes convinced the
husband killed her she uses the scrapbooks' trove of information to insert herself into the
Duncan's' lives to prove it. But the more Esther investigates the further she is dragged back
to the scorched earth of her past and the famous artist who paid her to disappear. Laced with
pitch-black humour and conspiratorial unease Scrap is a razor-sharp examination of wealth and
power art and truth of the line between justice and revenge - and who gets to cross it.
