A thrilling new family drama from the author of The Photographer's Wife and Perfectly Ordinary People: multi-million bestselling author Nick Alexander
Dee’s life in rainy Salford is a world away from her sister Trina’s champagne-and-caviar shenanigans.
So when Trina offers escape—ten days on a sun-drenched Greek island owned by a handsome, enigmatic businessman—Dee leaves comfort, routine, and the endless drizzle behind. A little bit of sunshine seems like the perfect antidote to her summertime blues.
But paradise proves hot and restless. The other guests are increasingly on-edge and a creeping sense of doom shadows Dee’s every step.
As the Aegean sun beats down, hidden truths begin to blister in the heat. Soon, Dee must question everything: the reality behind her sister’s glittering lifestyle, the true intentions of their seductive host, and whether the grass on this sunny side of the fence is really so green after all.
