'San Diego, California. Nine unique neighbourhoods, interconnected by seven parks and six solar-heated Olympic-sized swimming pools, nestled among 2300 acres of preserved open space interwoven by twenty-one miles of hiking and equestrian trails.' Mesa sur Mer sounds like paradise, but when a corpse is discovered in one of the luxury houses that currently stands empty, the residents have to ask how much they really know about their neighbours. As the spider's web of their lives is drawn out in Jesse Kellerman's magnificent new thriller, the facade of the modern day American dream is shattered - the consequences of each individual's actions leading back to the devastating death of someone in their midst. From the bestselling author of The Brutal Art, this perceptive, intelligent and thought-provoking thriller is a tour de force and is perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn and Megan Abbott.
