Marcie Maddox ce l''ha messa tutta per arrivare dove si trova: finalmente, dopo anni di relazione clandestina, è la moglie di Jason ed è entrata a far parte di una élite esclusiva. Ma quel mondo conquistato a fatica, fatto di feste, alcol, yacht e case sontuose, quella vita lussuosa a Savannah, in Georgia, che Marcie ama tanto, non è facile da mantenere. Così come non è facile tenere vivo l''interesse di suo marito. Quando il socio di Jason, William, vedovo, rientra dal suo viaggio d''affari a Londra con una nuova moglie, tutti gli amici rimangono esterrefatti: la donna è affascinante, sexy, divertente. E giovanissima. Keisha, la nuova arrivata, ruba rapidamente il ruolo a Marcie, quello di bellissima seconda moglie. E Marcie si accorge subito dell''attrazione nata tra la giovane londinese e suo marito. Quali armi sarà disposta a usare per salvare il suo matrimonio e, soprattutto, quel posto tanto ambito nell''alta società? La vendetta è un piatto che va servito freddo, ma, nell''estate umida di Savannah, il sangue scorre così caldo che potrebbe facilmente ribollire fino a sfociare in una tragedia. Definita da Stephen King «una delle autrici di thriller più brillanti in circolazione», la scrittrice bestseller del Sunday Times Sarah Pinborough ci regala un altro romanzo compulsivo e ricco di colpi di scena che lascerà il lettore senza fiato. Qualcuno ucciderebbe pur di avere la vita di Marcie Maddox. Di cosa è capace lei, per tenersela stretta?

This is an exceptional, contemporary, heart-breaking novel. Toby''s life was perfectly normal . . . until it was unravelled by something as simple as a blood test. Taken from his family, Toby now lives in the Death House; an out-of-time existence far from the modern world, where he, and the others who live there, are studied by Matron and her team of nurses. They''re looking for any sign of sickness. Any sign of their wards changing. Any sign that it''s time to take them to the sanatorium. No one returns from the sanatorium. Withdrawn from his house-mates and living in his memories of the past, Toby spends his days fighting his fear. But then a new arrival in the house shatters the fragile peace, and everything changes. Because everybody dies. It''s how you choose to live that counts. You can learn more about Sarah Pinborough at www.sarahpinborough.com, or by following @SarahPinborough on twitter.
