Eleven guests. Three nights. One murderer. . . Eleven guests. Three nights. One murderer. . . This is the haunting and atmospheric new thriller from rising star of crime fiction Rachael Blok. In a gorgeous mansion in the Hertfordshire countryside, sisters Lois and Ebba prepare to launch their new venture. Archipelago is an exploitation-free tech company whose virtual reality game promises to unite the worlds of technology, politics and the environment. Invited to the launch party are their investors: current and ex-politicians, international business moguls and activists, one of whom - Marieke - has been receiving online abuse and death threats for her views on eco-politics. DCI Maarten Jansen has been summoned to join the house party. He is sure the threats are from online trolls with nothing better to do - he' s only offering police protection because his boss wants to put the VIP guests at ease. But when eight of the guests are involved in a suspicious helicopter crash, Maarten starts to uncover long-buried secrets - and a murderer in their midst. . . Praise for Rachael Blok: ' A blistering mystery; the dark secrets lurking in the short summer shadows kept me turning the pages long into the night' Erin Kelly ' You will suspect everyone in this unbearably tense tale of betrayal and revenge' A. S. Hatch ' Gripping and original' Clare Empson ' Assured and compelling . . . The author is as deft about human relationships as she is about creating an increasingly foreboding atmosphere' Elly Griffiths
PRAISE FOR RACHAEL BLOK: ' Blok has an elliptical, poetic style that treats the narrative as a broken mirror that dazzles as much as it reveals. The Scorched Earth is a powerful, eventful novel . . . The dizzying heat comes off the page' The Times. ' Richly textured . . . An engrossing and twisty procedural' Sunday Times Crime Club. ' This atmospheric novel is a slow burn - but well worth it' Heat. ' Gripping, twisty and immensely satisfying, The Scorched Earth confirms Blok' s talent' Daily Mail. ' A scorchingly good thriller' Sunday Mirror.
