A brilliant, twisty thriller . . . I was gripped! – Peter James

*

THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME?

When five strangers are chosen for an all-expenses-paid stay at an exclusive retreat, they leap at the chance to rest and get away from it all amidst the lush Costa Rican rainforest.

OR THE HOLIDAY FROM HELL?

Their famous host is nowhere to be seen when they arrive. Confused, but eager to immerse themselves in this once-in-a-lifetime experience, they head into the wilderness in search of a rejuvenating waterfall – but when calamity strikes, panic sets in and they are plunged into a battle for survival.

Lost under the dense canopies with darkness closing in, they soon realise they cannot trust the beauty of their surroundings – or each other.

The Hideaway by Nikki Allen is a pulse-pounding, twisty destination thriller, perfect for fans of Nine Perfect Strangers and The White Lotus, as well as readers of Lucy Clarke.
