The tense and violent story of the Adamsons, a dysfunctional English family, with exceptional wealth, whose darkest secrets come back to bite them. Jones (The Outcast, Small Wars, The Uninvited Guests) moves into a contemporary setting for the first time with this gripping story set in rural France and the interview rooms of the local gendarmerie. An all-consuming read and a devastating portrait of how money corrupts, and how chance can deal a deadly hand. The Snakes exposes the damage wreaked by parents on children as observed by a new member of the family, Dan, a mixed-race man from Peckham who marries Bea, who refuses to take any of her father's filthy money. But when Bea's brother Alex (who runs a shabby hotel in Paligny, France) dies suddenly in unexplained circumstances, the confusion and suspicion which arises brings other dark family secrets ' and violence -- to the surface. And none of the family ' even the good ' go untouched.
