English | 2025 | Mystery & Thriller
Four friends. One betrayal. And a revenge that didn’t die with him.
Chris Harcourt is dying. At just 51, cancer is claiming his life, but not before his wife Jess delivers a final, devastating blow.
On the day of his death, she reveals the secret she’s been hiding for decades: she slept with each of his closest friends, in cold, calculated revenge for his long-ago affair with her best friend.
Now, the once-tight foursome is fractured beyond repair… and someone is making sure it stays that way.
One by one, the men begin to die. A slashed throat on the golf course. A stabbing in a school car park. A hit-and-run gone horribly wrong. Detectives Will Stewart and Claire Landon race to find the killer, following a trail that leads them to Chris’s former carer, Elsa Manvers. Jess’s carefully timed tip places Elsa squarely in the frame.
But in a twist no one sees coming, the real killers are still out there. And they’ve only just begun…
