Unbelievable is the UK edition of the critically acclaimed true crime investigation by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong, the journalists behind the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting that inspired the Netflix series Unbelievable. This gripping, real-life story follows an 18-year-old woman accused of lying about a brutal rape—while the actual attacker continued to prey on other victims across multiple states.

Through meticulous investigative journalism, Unbelievable uncovers the devastating consequences of disbelief, the determination of two female detectives who wouldn’t give up, and the chilling hunt for a serial predator. More than just a crime story, it’s a powerful indictment of systemic bias, victim-blaming, and institutional failure in the pursuit of justice.

What makes this book essential:

  • A shocking true story that reads like a thriller

  • Exposes how gender bias distorts criminal investigations

  • The basis for Netflix’s Unbelievable
