From the bestselling author of After the Crash, "a novel so
extraordinary it reminded me of reading Stieg Larsson for the first
time" (The Sunday Times).
Holidaying in an idyllic resort on the island of Réunion, wealthy
Parisians Martial and Liane Bellion are enjoying the perfect family
moment with their six-year-old daughter. Turquoise skies, clear water,
palm trees, a warm breeze.
Then Liane Bellion disappears from her hotel room. The door to her room
is open, the walls and sheets are spotted with blood. A hotel employee
swears he saw Martial in the corridor at the time Liane went missing,
and he becomes the number one suspect. But then Martial also disappears,
along with his daughter. An all-out manhunt is declared across the
island.
Could Martial really have killed his wife? For fans of Gone Girl and
The Fugitive, Bussi's fast-paced, atmospheric thriller does not
disappoint.
"A nail biter of a manhunt across the spectacular terrain of the Indian
Ocean island of Réunion drives this thriller after a tourist goes
missing, triggering a police chase and exposing a cannily-constructed
mystery with nods to both Agatha Christie and Harlan Coben."--The
Boston Globe
"Suspenseful . . . vengeance proves a common passion on Réunion, as
detailed in this twist-filled novel told from several characters'
perspectives."--The Wall Street Journal
"This novel, a multi-charactered French whodunit, squeezes all its
frantic action into the 25 square miles of gorgeous but treacherous
Réunion Island."--Toronto Star
"A top-notch puzzle . . . A wonderfully immersive thriller."--Booklist
