Synopsis
A contemporary London-set crime novel from the author of the the Peculiar Crimes Unit series. âÈò Sex and the City meets the modern crime thriller. âÈò Apartment-sitting in a luxury penthouse goes horribly wrong for June Cryer when a young girl breaks into the apartment only to be horribly murdered and June must find the killer, before he finds her. June Cryer is a shopaholic suburban housewife trapped in a lousy marriage. After discovering her husbandâÈçs infidelity with her flight attendant neighbour, Hilary âÈæBoarding From The RearâÈç Cooper, she loses her home, her husband and her credit rating. âÈò Then her best pal Lou offers a solution; a mutual friend needs someone reliable to act as caretaker in a spectacular London high-rise apartment. ItâÈçs just for the weekend, but thereâÈçs good money in itâÈö Seizing the opportunity to escape, June moves into the penthouse only to find that thereâÈçs no electricity and the phones donâÈçt work. She must flat-sit until the security system comes back on. When a terrified girl breaks into the flat and June makes the mistake of asking the neighbours for help, she finds herself embroiled in an escalating nightmare, trying to prove that a murderer exists. Over the next 24 hours she must survive on the streets without friends or money, solve an impossible crime, and fight off the urge to buy a new wardrobe. âÈò Christopher FowlerâÈçs cult novel features a foreword by Joanne Harris. âÈò âÈæThe dark reverse of a personal growth novel, a hoot of a crime thriller.âÈç Literary Editor, The Independent.
