The unforgettable detective duo from The Doctor’s Wife are back, and this time the stakes are even higher.
When DS Ramesh Bandara is asked to head up a homicide investigation in a small New Zealand beachside town, he has no idea he’s stumbled onto something much bigger. With little to go on, the investigation is frustratingly slow to get off the ground, but it’s Bandara’s unconventional colleague, Hilary Stark, who spots similarities with a murder case she worked years before.
Overnight, their suspect list expands to include the cast and crew from a controversial reality TV show, Hooked Up, that screened a decade earlier. Someone, it appears, has been holding onto a grudge for a very long time. But is Hilary’s hunch really on the money? This is New Zealand, after all . . .
‘Every twist in this addictive murder mystery is earned.’
Jacqueline Bublitz, author of Before You Knew My Name
‘A knock-out premise . . . Sussman delivers on her super-smart concept with storytelling that is as playful as it is tense.’
Michael Bennett, author of Better the Blood
‘An electric mix of intrigue and mystery.’
Tom Baragwanath, author of Paper Cage
Genre: Mystery
