A clever and addictive thriller from the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments
Rennie Wilford is a young journalist running from her life. When she takes an assignment to a Caribbean island she tumbles into a world where no one is quite what they seem, least of all 'Yankee' Paul.
Is Paul a drug smuggler? A CIA operative? Either way he's trouble and his offer to Rennie of a no-hooks, no strings affair, will suddenly draw her into in a lethal web of corruption.
'As swift-moving as the best thriller, clipped and laconic, yet deeply and richly sensitive' Sunday Telegraph
