Brought to you by Penguin.

Former journalist Matt Grimshaw's life is at a low ebb. He's been 'let go' by the paper where he's worked for years, and his relationship with his long-term girlfriend has come unstuck.

So when an invitation arrives from his two closest friends, Celia and Adam Murphy, to join them at their house in Greece, he jumps at it.

It may be harsh and unwelcoming on the Mani Peninsula but Matt determines to stay there for the whole summer and to write his much put-off screen-play.

But then the Murphys plus children arrive, and a wealthy newcomer to the area starts throwing loud and lavish parties in his big house across the bay.

As the nights become hotter and the parties wilder, everyone's motivations darken. Envy rises, resentments grow - until a terrible accident stops the summer in its tracks.

At least, it looks like an accident…

Set over one blazing Mediterranean summer, Sabine Durrant’s new thriller is tense, claustrophobic and utterly gripping.

'A real scorcher. You won't want to miss this one!' HARLAN COBEN

'Sun-drenched and dripping with suspense, this is the perfect summer read’ LUCY CLARKE

Sabine Durrant is a fantastic writer… Dead Heat is a cracker
Expertly constructed and guilefully written, it inevitably reminds you of Patricia Highsmith, but also of The Great Gatsby
Incredibly atmospheric and oppressive - the heat, the relationships, the events - it’s all sticky and woozy and hot and sandy and salty and languorous . . . this is the perfect book to read on a sun lounger
With scintillating shades of The Great Gatsby, this intoxicating thriller is a superb study in menace
Durrant’s talent for conjuring the harsh beauty of Greece’s Mani Peninsula immediately immerses the reader . . . explosive
This slow-burn thriller gives White Lotus vibes thanks to the luxe setting on Greece’s Mani Peninsula
Durrant pairs taut psychological suspense with crisp, beautiful writing
Explosive
Durrant’s cast of characters are intensely unlikeable and yet utterly irresistible
I loved this book. The descriptions are so beautiful that you almost don’t notice the brilliance of the plotting

A light holiday read. The characters were mostly unpleasant especially the narrator of the take who is an obnoxious and rather pathetic character. Not terribly credible plot with a weak twist at the end. Have read others by Sabine Durrant. Not the best
Think that the reader captured what a drop Mark is.

Unpleasant characters

Such clever writing, so observant, the perfect slow, sly burn. The narrator captured it with amazing insight, so that you just lose yourself in the story. I loved it.

Brilliant

Brilliant. Flavours of The Great Gatsby. Passion and heat. Intrigue and extreme wealth. All go together to create a decadent setting for love, hate and jealousy to take centre stage.

Hot and Sultry a tale of Love and Hate
