You saw her die
Thirty years ago, one of Ben Knott’s schoolfriends was murdered. Another went to prison. The story ended. The village of Barton Mallett tried to move on.
Now her killer is back
As the murderer’s sentence ends, the village is chosen as the unlikely location for a feature film by a Hollywood producer, with Ben’s son Nathan cast in the leading role.
Can you keep hiding the truth?
As the film takes shape, Ben begins to recognise the storyline – from his own past. As his son becomes immersed in a tale of bullying and retribution, things turn dangerous, and an uncomfortable truth begins to emerge. Ben must choose between the safety of his children and reopening the wounds of the past. How much is he willing to risk to protect his family – and himself?

Critic Reviews
A compelling story fuelled by obsession, betrayal and revenge – an absolute treat for psychological thriller fans.
Critic Reviews
Armitage has done it again... The Cut is a chilling, atmospheric thriller with characters you'll never forget.
Critic Reviews
The Cut is a brilliantly crafted, skilfully executed, page-turner of a novel, filled with insight and pathos, thrills and suspense which I thoroughly enjoyed. I only have one question…when’s the next one coming out?!
Critic Reviews
It's a proper thriller, a proper bloody thriller.
Critic Reviews
Armitage manages this complex plot with a skill and raw honesty that throws a genuine new light on the legacy of bullying and revenge that can deform and explain much of aberrant adult behaviour. A terrific read with a heartfelt message.
Critic Reviews
A chilling and masterfully crafted page-turner that demands to be read in one sitting.
