THRILLER OF THE YEAR in GUARDIAN, TELEGRAPH AND DAILY EXPRESS
"Totally addictive. Like Fight Club, only darker" S.J. Watson
"I loved this book. Dark and at times almost comical, a great blend of
crime thriller and the darkest imaginable domestic noir" Sarah
Pinborough
Dark, deviant and disturbing domestic noir...one of the most
entrancing, sophisticated and page-turning psychological thrillers of
the year
One crossed wire, three dead bodies and six bottles of bleach...
Seth Beauman can't sleep. He stays up late, calling strangers from his
phonebook, hoping to make a connection, while his wife, Maeve, sleeps
upstairs. A crossed wire finds a suicidal Hadley Serf on the phone to
Seth, thinking she is talking to The Samaritans.
But a seemingly harmless, late-night hobby turns into something more for
Seth and for Hadley, and soon their late-night talks are turning into
day-time meet-ups. And then this dysfunctional love story turns into
something altogether darker, when Seth brings Hadley home...
And someone is watching...
Dark, sexy, dangerous and wildly readable, Good Samaritans marks the
scorching return of one of crime fiction's most exceptional voices.
