Dead Heat by Sabine Durrant

A sun-drenched reunion turns dangerously dark

Very Good Condition – minor cover and edge wear.

Former journalist Matt Grimshaw’s life is at a low ebb: he has lost his job and his long-term relationship is falling apart. When his old friends Celia and Adam Murphy invite him to their summer house in Greece, he accepts, even though he senses that Celia would rather he stayed away. The arrival of the Murphys’ children and a wealthy newcomer soon transforms the quiet holiday into a season of lavish parties, renewed rivalries, and buried resentments. As the temperature rises and loyalties shift, an atmosphere of unease builds toward an accident that brings the summer to a sudden and disturbing end.
