The Truth Can Be Murder

Overview

Inspired by the 1982 Roberto Calvi Affair in which an Italian banker was found hanging from a bridge across the River Thames, the story follows Alan, a man from Northern England who is homeless after the loss of his wife and job. One night while sleeping in a deserted building, Alan witnesses the murder of a high-profile businessman.

To stay alive, Alan recruits the help of Billie Hayman, an American journalist, to cover his story.
