Who is more dangerous?
An enemy? A friend? Or a lover?
Bonnie Graham is standing in her friend's flat. She is alone, except for the dead body lying in a pool of blood on the floor. What happened? What will she do? And what role has she played in the murderous events?
Bonnie is a music teacher who has spent a long, hot summer in London rehearsing with a band to play at a wedding. It was supposed to be fun, but the band members find the complicated knots of their friendships unravelling as the days themselves unwind. What was meant to be a summer of happiness, love and music turns deadly as lovers betray one another, passions turn murderous and friendship itself becomes a crime.
Everyone lies. But is anyone prepared to tell the truth to uncover a murder?
With more twists and turns than any other writer can master, Nicci French delivers a tremendous new bestseller to haunt the imagination.
'French is excellent at building up suspense and elegantly exploiting all our worst fears.' Daily Mail.
