The Missing Book | The Walkers Ep7

About this episode

Chloe investigates the controversial claims surrounding Raynor Winn's bestselling book and its sequels.

The Salt Path was the supposed bestseller debut book by Raynor Winn, selling millions worldwide. So when two more sequels came along with increasingly bold claims on reversing a terminal illness, why did the publisher Penguin not question it more? Chloe also goes on the hunt for Raynor Winn’s fourth   book…her true debut written years before The Salt Path .
