Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
A twisty standalone thriller from the author of The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair. "Twists, turns, cliffhangers and red herrings galore" The Times "Nothing will matter to you more than finishing this book" Elle In the summer of 1994, the quiet seaside town of Orphea reels from the discovery of four murders. Two young police officers, Jesse Rosenberg and Derek Scott crack the case and identify the killer. Then, twenty years later and just as he is on the point of taking early retirement, Rosenberg is approached by Stephanie Mailer, a journalist who believes he made a mistake back in 1994 and that the real murderer is still out there, perhaps ready to strike again. But before she can give any more details, Stephanie Mailer disappears, and Rosenberg and Scott are forced to confront the possibility that their error two decades ago may have had deadly consequences. What happened to Stephanie Mailer? What did she know? And what really happened in Orphea all those years ago? READER REVIEWS "So many secrets, so many red herrings, I never guessed the killer at all. An absolute brilliant book I couldn't put down." "A real whodunnit from start to finish with characters you can identify with." Translated from the French by Howard Curtis.
