Six stories
Which one is true?
1997. Scarclaw Fell. The body of teenager Tom Jeffries is found at an
outward bound centre. Verdict? Misadventure. But not everyone is
convinced. And the truth of what happened in the beautiful but eerie
fell is locked in the memories of the tight-knit group of friends who
embarked on that fateful trip, and the flimsy testimony of those living
nearby.
2017. Enter elusive investigative journalist Scott King, whose
podcast examinations of complicated cases have rivalled the success of
Serial, with his concealed identity making him a cult internet figure.
In a series of six interviews, King attempts to work out how the
dynamics of a group of idle teenagers conspired with the sinister
legends surrounding the fell to result in Jeffries' mysterious death.
And who's to blame...
As every interview unveils a new revelation, you'll be forced to work
out for yourself how Tom Jeffries died, and who is telling the truth.
A chilling, unpredictable and startling thriller, Six Stories is
also a classic murder mystery with a modern twist, and a devastating
ending.
