About this listen

 'Savage, brilliant, merciless and mad as hell' FINANCIAL TIMES

'Lives up to the hype' SUNDAY TIMES STYLE

'A thriller's bones, a satire's glare, and a comeuppance story's anarchic spirit' NEW YORKER

Sarah grew up in the forests of Maine, following her father on hunts. They approached each kill with something close to reverence, honouring the sacrifice the animal made and the sustenance it provided through winter.

Now, she's a final year PhD student in southern California, caught in an entirely different landscape of extreme wealth and raging wildfires. She spends her time worrying about how she'll be able to get a permanent academic position, and also doing ketamine and watching 80s movies with her best friend, Nathan.

Nathan was the only person to believe Sarah when she was assaulted by a fellow student during her first year. When he's found dead of an alleged heroin overdose, Sarah is convinced it is a murder but, once again, the police don't believe her. As she digs into the case, she stumbles upon a disturbing pattern in the deaths of other young men on campus and begins to piece together a possible link between the victims.

Now, Sarah must confront a different type of killing to any she's ever known - and decide if it can be justified.

'. . . a furious, fast-paced, emotionally resonant and memorable novel. I'll be thinking about this one for a while yet.' - ILANA MASAD, Los Angeles Times©2025 Christine Murphy (P)2025 Headline Publishing Group Limited Biographical Fiction Crime Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Urban Heartfelt
