Dark Music

The gripping new thriller from the author of THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB

By the author of THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB

Fatal Gambit

Claire Lidman died fourteen years ago. So why does she appear in the background of a recent holiday snap taken in Venice? Her husband brings the anomaly to Hans Rekke and Micaela Vargas. Initial scepticism gives way to cautious belief, but Rekke is falling apart again and Vargas has her own problems. Her gangster brother is threatening to silence her if she doesn't get off his case. Meanwhile, Rekke's daughter Julia has a new boyfriend she's determined to keep secret. He sees something in her she can't see herself, but there are hints of a darker side. Most troubling of all, Rekke is hearing whispers of a name he hasn't heard for years. A rival from his youth whose restless evil links all the threads in this incipient case. The pieces are laid and he's already one move ahead. The name of the game is revenge. Translated from the Swedish by Ian Giles Reviews for Dark Music: "One Holmes himself would have loved to solve" Independent "A rich, engrossing novel" Literary Review "A complex and dark Sherlock Holmesian tale" Irish Independent

'Breathlessly twisty. Brilliantly addictive.' C. J. Tudor

Oliver Park, a recovering addict finally has everything he ever wanted: sobriety and a loving, wealthy partner in Nathan, a prominent trauma surgeon. Despite their difference in age and backgrounds, they've made a perfect life together.

With everything to lose, Oliver shouldn't be visiting a gay bathhouse. But he does and a line is crossed. Inside, he follows a man into a private room and whatever happens next, Nathan can never know. Then, everything goes horribly wrong, and Oliver barely escapes with his life.

He races home in full-blown terror as the hand-shaped bruise grows dark on his neck. The truth will destroy Nathan and everything they have together, so Oliver does the thing he used to do so well: he lies...
