Under the searing sun, secrets simmer and betrayal lies thick in this claustrophobic, explosive new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Richard and Judy Book Club pick, Lie With Me. 'A real scorcher. You won't want to miss this one!' HARLAN COBEN'Gloriously dark and wildly engrossing' LISA JEWELL'Sun-drenched and dripping with suspense, this is the perfect summer read` LUCY CLARKE
Former journalist Matt Grimshaw's life is at a low ebb.
He's been 'let go' by the paper where he's worked for years, and his relationship with his long-term girlfriend has come unstuck. So when an invitation arrives from his two closest friends, Celia and Adam Murphy, to join them at their house in Greece, he jumps at it. It may be harsh and unwelcoming on the Mani Peninsula but Matt determines to stay there for the whole summer and to write his much put-off screen-play.
But then the Murphys plus children arrive, and a wealthy newcomer to the area starts throwing loud and lavish parties in his big house across the bay. As the nights become hotter and the parties wilder, everyone's motivations darken. Envy rises, resentments grow - until a terrible accident stops the summer in its tracks.
At least, it looks like an accident…Set over one blazing Mediterranean summer, Sabine Durrant`s new thriller is tense, claustrophobic and utterly gripping. Praise for Dead Heat...
