Description
'Transporting and transfixing' - Julia Dahl
Baja California, 1979: Viridiana spends her days under the harsh sun, watching the fishermen pulling in their nets and the dead sharks piled beside the seashore. Her head is filled with dreams of romance, travel, and a future beyond this drab town where her only option is to marry and have children.
'Completely, awesomely immersive in the best possible way' - Goodreads review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐When a wealthy American writer arrives with his wife and brother-in-law, Viridiana jumps at the offer of a job as his assistant, and she's soon entangled in the glamorous foreigners' lives. They offer excitement, and perhaps an escape from her humdrum life. When one of them dies, eager to protect her new friends, Viridiana lies - but soon enough, someone's asking questions. It's not long before Viridiana has some of her own questions about the identities of her new acquaintances.
Sharks may be dangerous, but there are worse predators nearby, ready to devour a naive young woman unwittingly entangled in a web of deceit. 'The sun drenched noir (I suspect I'm stealing that phrase from somewhere) that's woven by these pages is unforgettable' - Goodreads review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'The perfect little coastal noir' Sadie Hartmann, author of 101 Horror Books To Read Before You're Murdered 'Brutality takes on an almost divine quality' LA Review of BooksBook Details
