“The dark reverse of a
personal growth novel, a hoot of a crime thriller.” – The Independent
“A breathtaking thriller
set in the dark shadow of the everyday …
a razor sharp parable of
modern life” – Jake Arnott
Christopher Fowler, the writer behind the Bryant & May series, is returning to Solaris with a new horror
crime thriller that slices through the facile world of modern consumerist urban
life.
June Cryer is a shopaholic suburban housewife trapped in a lousy
marriage. After losing her home, husband and credit rating, she flat-sits a
friend’s spectacular London high-rise apartment and prepares to indulge herself
amidst London’s wealth.
But when a terrified girl breaks into the flat, June makes the mistake
of asking the neighbours for help and she finds herself embroiled in an
escalating nightmare, trying to prove that a murderer exists. For the next 24
hours she must survive on the streets without friends or money and solve an
impossible crime.
Fowler has produced a dark thriller that skewers the lives of the urban
rich, cutting open dark fears and bringing forth a novel that reveals the
flimsy insecurities of modern life.
