'I read it in 24 hours. It's gripping, atmospheric and ultimately deeply satisfying' Val McDermid The gripping new novel from the author of the Sunday Times top ten bestsellers, The Dry and Force of Nature. He had started to remove his clothes as logic had deserted him, and his skin was cracked. Whatever had been going through Cameron's mind when he was alive, he didn't look peaceful in death. Two brothers meet at the remote border of their vast cattle properties under the unrelenting sun of the outback. In an isolated part of Australia, they are each other's nearest neighbour, their homes hours apart. They are at the stockman's grave, a landmark so old that no one can remember who is buried there. But today, the scant shadow it casts was the last hope for their middle brother, Cameron. The Bright family's quiet existence is thrown into grief and anguish. Something had been troubling Cameron. Did he choose to walk to his death? Because if he didn't, the isolation of the outback leaves few suspects...

The gripping new novel from the author of the Sunday Times top ten bestseller, Waterstones Thriller of the Month, Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month, and Simon Mayo Radio 2 Book Club Choice, The Dry. FIVE WENT OUT. FOUR CAME BACK... Is Alice here? Did she make it? Is she safe? In the chaos, in the night, it was impossible to say which of the four had asked after Alice's welfare. Later, when everything got worse, each would insist it had been them. Five women reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking along the muddy track. Only four come out the other side. The hike through the rugged landscape is meant to take the office colleagues out of their air-conditioned comfort zone and teach resilience and team building. At least that is what the corporate retreat website advertises. Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk has a particularly keen interest in the whereabouts of the missing bushwalker. Alice Russell is the whistleblower in his latest case - and Alice knew secrets. About the company she worked for and the people she worked with. Far from the hike encouraging teamwork, the women tell Falk a tale of suspicion, violence and disintegrating trust. And as he delves into the disappearance, it seems some dangers may run far deeper than anyone knew

Egy őrült szerelem, amit megrázó csalódás követ. Egy kapcsolat, ami egy életre szól, és még annál is tovább. Bosszú, aminek még a halál sem állhatja útját. Barnabas Collinst, a New England-i hajómágnás család ifjú örökösét megbabonázza Angelique, a Martinique szigetéről érkező szolgáló egzotikus szépsége. Arra azonban, hogy a lány milyen sötét hatalmak szövetségese, csak akkor jön rá, amikor már késő: eljegyez valaki mást, Angelique pedig olyan bosszút esküszik ellene, ami a síron túl is üldözni fogja. Lara Parker a hetvenes évek kultikus sorozatában, a Dark Shadowsban maga játszotta Angelique szerepét. A színésznő a sorozat eredeti forgatókönyvét feldolgozva írta meg az Éjsötét árnyék trilógiát. A történet filmváltozata 2012 májusában kerül a mozikba Tim Burton rendezésében, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer és Helena Bonham Carter főszereplésével.
