Ingen av dem är van vid att lita på andra, men när de tre främlingarnas vägar oväntat korsas finns det bara en sak att göra: hålla ihop. Annars kommer någon av dem att dö. Tre främlingar, två hemligheter, en kväll med fruktansvärda konsekvenser. Den bästsäljande författaren är tillbaka med en ny fängslande roman som håller läsaren på sträckbänken ända fram till det överraskande slutet. "I denna mästerligt konstruerade berättelse faller alla bitar på plats i ett rafflande och oväntat slut." Fiona Cummins "Jag var helt uppslukad, från början till slut!" Shari Lapena "En rapp thriller från en av mästarna i genren." Sharon Bolton "Fenomenala villospår, smarta cliffhangers, oerhört beroendeframkallande." John Marrs "Hon har gjort det igen Främlingarna är helt briljant." Cass Green Författaren C.L. Taylor återfinns på Sunday Times bästsäljarlista och har skrivit fem fängslande, fristående psykologiska thrillers. Hennes prisbelönta böcker har sålts i mer än en miljon exemplar, legat etta på alla e-boksplattformar och översatts till fler än 20 språk; även TV-rättigheter har sålts. Hon bor i Bristol tillsammans med sin partner och sin son.

Främlingarna

En retreat. Tre offer. Ingen flyktväg. Du kommer dit för att läka. Du väntar dig inte att dö. För två år sedan försvann Frans syster Jenna under en hälsoretreat på Gozo som gick fruktansvärt fel. Tom Wade, den nu ökände mannen bakom företaget Soul Shrink Retreats, har nyss släppts ur fängelse efter att ha avtjänat sitt straff för två människors död. Men han har aldrig avslöjat vad som hände det tredje offret: Jenna. Fran är fast besluten att ta reda på sanningen och bokar in sig på hans kommande retreat – den första sedan hans frisläppande – och ställs öga mot öga med den man som kanske har nyckeln till hennes systers försvinnande. Frågan är bara om hon kommer att komma levande ifrån retreaten? Eller finns det någon där som vill att Jennas hemligheter ska förbli dolda? Spänningens mästare är tillbaka. Gör dig redo för ännu en berg-och-dalbanefärd med hjärtat i halsgropen, från en författare på Sunday Times bästsäljarlista. ”En verklig höjdarroman” - Elizabeth Haynes ”En sensationell roman!” - Gillian Mcallister ”Ännu en höjdare! Hennes sista semester gör en verkligen inte besviken. Höll mig fängslad och såg till att jag fick fortsätta gissa.” - Jane Fallon ”Spännande, fängslande läsning med ett suveränt tillfredsställande slut. Smart, otäck och fascinerande. Älskade den!” - Milly Johnson ”Ren eskapism och en riktig bladvändare!” - Debbie Howells ”Den psykologiska thrillerns drottning levererar ännu en förvecklingsrik bok som är omöjlig att lägga ifrån sig. Hennes sista semester är en isande trovärdig berättelse om varför man aldrig någonsin bör åka på en hälsoretreat.” - Susi Holliday ”En fängslande spänningspackad thriller!!” - B.A. Paris

Hennes sista semester

Ibland vägrar ens första kärlek att släppa taget ... När Lou Wandsworth rymde till Frankrike tillsammans med sin lärare Mike Hughes trodde hon att han var hennes livs kärlek. Men Mike var inte den han verkade vara och han ödelade hennes liv. Nu är Lou 32 och upptäcker att han har en relation med tonåringen Chloe Meadows. Fast besluten att se till att historien inte upprepar sig, återvänder hon hem för att konfrontera honom med den skada han har orsakat. Men Mike är den värsta sortens rovdjur, och medan Lou försöker dra honom inför rätta är det tydligt att hon än en gång kan bli hans byte … Klaustrofobisk och fängslande. Karin Slaughter C.L. Taylors fans har något att se fram emot. Fruktan är hennes bästa hittills. Claire Mackintosh En berg-och-dalbana med många kurvor Daily Mail Kuslig och otäck så man kan få hjärtslag. Sunday Express Höll mig i ovisshet ända till slutet. The Sun Författaren C.L. Taylor återfinns på Sunday Times bästsäljarlista och har skrivit fem fängslande, fristående psykologiska thrillers.

Fruktan

Att bevara en ohygglig hemlighet kan vara så svårt att det rent av kan kännas lättare att inte längre finnas till.  Kanske var det så det kändes för Charlotte? Ingen vet, men hennes mamma Sue misstänker det. Varför skulle hennes älskade tonårsdotter annars ha klivit rakt ut i gatan framför en buss?  Nu ligger Charlotte i koma och Sue och hennes make kämpar för att både hitta svar, få till stånd något slags normal vardag och förstås för att dottern äntligen ska vakna upp.  En dag hittar Sue Charlottes dagbok och via en kommentar i den tvingas hon rannsaka sig själv. Till slut har hon inget annat val än att konfrontera sina egna demoner.  Handlar allt det här om henne och ett förflutet hon kämpat hårt för att lämna bakom sig? Eller ser hon spöken mitt på ljusa dagen? Och varför verkar hennes make inte se det hon ser? Frågan är om han vet mer än han låter påskina.  Kan det vara så att det som hänt Charlotte i själva verket handlar om Sue? 

Thrillers

Olyckan

Anna vill inget annat än att kunna sova. Men överväldigande sömnlöshet, nattliga fasor och minnen av den där fruktansvärda kvällen gör det omöjligt. Om hon ändå inte känt sig så skyldig … För att undfly sitt förflutna tar Anna jobb på den ensligt belägna skotska ön Rum, men när sju gäster anländer förvandlas det som från början var en tillflykt undan världen till en livsfarlig mardröm. Alla gästerna har var sin hemlighet, men en av dem ljuger – om vem personen är och varför den är på ön. Det bor en mördare på Bay View Hotel. Och den har siktat in sig på Anna. Sju gäster. Sju hemligheter. En mördare. Törs du falla i sömn? "Se upp! Sömn ger inte det som står på utsidan: jag låg vaken frampå småtimmarna av dess mörka och snåriga förtrollning." Fiona Barton "Ett klassiskt upplägg med en paranoid huvudperson och mustiga misstänkta. Jättebra bok!" Steve Cavanagh "Mörk och oroande. Det här är en bok jag kommer att minnas länge." Rachel Abbott "Extremt läskig, atmosfärrik och komplex." Claire Douglas Författaren C.L. Taylor återfinns på Sunday Times bästsäljarlista och har skrivit fem fängslande, fristående psykologiska thrillers. Hennes prisbelönta böcker har sålts i mer än en miljon exemplar, legat etta på alla e-boksplattformar och översatts till fler än 20 språk; även TV-rättigheter har sålts.
