**THE BRAND NEW SUN-SOAKED THRILLER FROM THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER**

‘Wickedly twisty, menacing, sexy, and headily atmospheric, The Surf House has got it all' Louise Candlish

____________________________________ Welcome to The Surf House Where everyone’s escaping something…

*

High on the cliffs of Morocco, far from the city lights and the souks, stands The Surf House: a sanctuary for travellers chasing sunshine and waves.

But the idyll hides a dark mystery.

And when Bea washes in, seeking refuge after a dangerous encounter in Marrakesh, she soon gets caught in the current.

A woman her age – who stayed in the same area, walked the same beaches, met the same guests – disappeared one year earlier, vanishing without trace.

Somewhere inside The Surf House lies the truth – but there’ll be a price for uncovering it…
