‘The poet laureate of the literary thriller: sinister and soulful’
Michael Koryta, author of Those Who Wish Me Dead

The best-selling author of The River returns with a heart-racing thriller about a young man escaping his own grief and an elite fishing lodge in Colorado hiding a plot of shocking menace

Kingfisher Lodge: a boutique resort surrounded by a mile and a half of the most pristine river water on the planet.

Safe from viruses that have plagued America for years, Kingfisher offers a respite for wealthy clients – and a return to normality for fishing guide Jack, battling the demons of a recent, devastating loss.

But when a human scream pierces the night, Jack soon realises that the idyllic retreat may be merely a cover for a far more sinister operation.

Lucy Foley meets Liane Moriarty’s Nine Perfect Strangers, with the lyrical writing of Robert Macfarlane and an eerily plausible twist…
