The Tenth Circle Picoult, Jodi

When fourteen-year-old Trixie Stone accuses her ex-boyfriend of rape, the accusation detonates her family. Her father Daniel, a mild-mannered comic book artist who draws superheroes but has never been one, suddenly finds himself capable of violence he didn't know lived inside him. Her mother Laura, a literature professor who once specialized in Dante's Inferno, begins to see her own betrayals mirrored in her daughter's crisis. As the investigation unfolds, the truth becomes slippery — memories shift, motives tangle, and everyone involved has a version of events that doesn't quite align. Picoult weaves together a thriller plot with her trademark moral complexity, interrogating consent, justice, parental love, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. This isn't just about what happened that night. It's about whether any of us can really know the people we love. Perfect for readers who like their page-turners with substance and aren't afraid of uncomfortable questions.
