About this listen
A CRIMEREADS BEST CRIME NOVEL
After a long-buried, harrowing incident, a woman whose promising film career was derailed contemplates revenge in this thriller about power, privilege, and justice “that is compelling, courageous, and brutal in the best possible way” (Liz Nugent, author of Little Cruelties).
A Hollywood has-been, Sarah Lai’s dreams of success behind the camera have turned to ashes. Now a lecturer at an obscure college, this former producer wants nothing more than to forget those youthful ambitions and push aside any feelings of regret…or guilt.
But when a journalist reaches out to her to discuss her own experience working with the celebrated film producer Hugo North, Sarah can no longer keep silent. This is her last chance to tell her side of the story and maybe even exact belated vengeance.
As Sarah recounts the industry’s dark and sordid secrets, however, she begins to realize that she has a few sins of her own to confess. Now she must confront her choices and ask herself, just who was complicit?
Bold and hypnotic, Complicit transports us “into the film industry’s dark and deep-seated culture of rampant sexism and unbridled male ego…and the terrible cost of staying silent. An utterly compelling read” (Liv Constantine, author of The Last Mrs. Parrish).
Critic reviews
"Scottish actress Katie Leung employs a flawless American accent in this biting thriller involving the film industry. Sarah Lai is teaching introductory screenwriting at a small college in New York City when a famous reporter starts to interview her about her past with a billionaire film producer. Leung gives Sarah a drained tone that comes to life with naïve enthusiasm as she recounts her difficult rise from assistant at an indie production company to acting producer on a hot L.A. film set. Cinematic character voices and accents for her tough New Yorker boss, Sylvia; auteur bro, Xander; and predatory financier, Hugo North, create a vivid cast for a story that shows how misogyny and ambition allow sexual predators to remain powerful behind the scenes."
