The night before marrying Silicon Valley millionaire Bruce Lamb, Abigail Baskin is seduced by a stranger on her hen party and they sleep together. A week later, this stranger turns up on her honeymoon, a secluded island off the coast of Maine, which doesn’t feel quite right – and her new life threatens to crash around her as he warns her to get off the island…

Over the course of his six previous novels Peter Swanson has proved himself a master of suspense and the tricky twist, whilst tipping his hat, and drawing inspiration from the great crime writers of the past – Patricia Highsmith, Agatha Christie, and here, Ira Levin. Plus his last book was about a bookseller. I’m looking forward to giving him a light grilling. Jx
