“Freshest page-turner this year”
A week in Cannes can be murder: Andy Carrick – an ex soldier still doing battle with himself – hunts for the cut-throat razor killer of a decadent advertising guru murdered during a long lunch.
At first the murder seems a real life-saver; Carrick aches to get back to the centre of things.
But suddenly he's not so sure. The investigation is leading him straight back to his own messy past, a dark and lonely place he’s in no hurry to revisit.
The action plunges through the famous hotels and bars of the French Riviera during festival season as Carrick begins to wonder if it’s really the crime of passion it’s been made to look?
Is it actually big business related?
Or maybe, just maybe, a brazen international modern art forgery scam?
When Carrick’s own alibi crumbles he starts wondering one more thing: can he survive seven days and nights in a town full of liars for hire?
Want vivid characters and tight plotting shot through with dry wit?
Strap yourself in.
