'Intrigue and ouzo abound in a thriller that made me feel like I was there in sweltering Greece instead of a stupid Tube carriage.' Reader review, 5 stars
When eighteen-year-old Jean gets swept up in the glamour and escapism of her new life, desire soon turns to obsession in this seductive debut.
1960.
With her coral-red lips and sleek black bob, Vivienne Fenwick is the most beautiful woman that lonely eighteen-year-old Jean has ever seen.
They've only just met, but Jean knows she'll do anything to be like her.
She soon spies her opportunity. Vivienne and her husband Robert are professional racing drivers - and they need an assistant to spend the summer with them in Greece, to navigate the winding, deadly, pine-scented clifftop roads that sweep alongside the sparkling azure sea.
But the closer Jean gets to Vivienne and Robert, the more she becomes dangerously entangled in their turbulent relationship - and their dark secrets.
And as the summer passes in a haze of ouzo-drenched seduction, Jean starts to wonder: how well does she know these reckless, beautiful people? And what would she do to keep this life?
