STRAY TOO CLOSE TO THE EDGE . . .

New York-based writers Felix and Emma have it all. As the husband and wife team behind the bestselling Morgan Savage thrillers, their meteoric rise to global literary fame seemed unstoppable.

Until Felix messed up.

AND SOMEONE'S GOING TO GET HURT.

Now, the couple has been exiled to the south of France. Their sentence: a long, hot summer to cure their writers' block - and save their marriage.

But as tensions rise beneath the sweltering sun, Felix and Emma become trapped in a deathly plot of their own making . . .

Proving once again she's the mistress of 'one two punch' twists, Emily Freud's The Cliffhanger is a masterpiece thriller that will reel readers in and leave them totally hooked. With a wonderfully evoked South of France setting, central characters that are as dastardly as they are pitiful, and a plot that whips along at breakneck pace, Freud deftly combines the perfect ingredients for suspense - all the while winking a meta eye at the world of publishing. Thriller fans are in for a total treat! * Lizzy Barber *
The Cliffhanger is without a doubt Emily's darkest book yet.

The perfect book to disappear into . . . I really, really loved it * Emma Curtis *
