New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman
returns with a superb novel of psychological suspense about
a pair of lovers with the best intentions and the worst
luck: two people locked in a passionate yet uncompromising
game of cat and mouse. But instead of rules, this game has
dark secrets, forbidden desires, inevitable betrayals—and
cold-blooded murder.
One is playing a long game. But which one?
They meet at a local tavern in the small town of Belleville,
Delaware. Polly is set on heading west. Adam says he’s also
passing through. Yet she stays and he stays—drawn to this
mysterious redhead whose quiet stillness both unnerves and
excites him. Over the course of a punishing summer, Polly
and Adam abandon themselves to a steamy, inexorable affair.
Still, each holds something back from the other—dangerous,
even lethal, secrets.
Then someone dies. Was it an accident, or part of a plan? By
now, Adam and Polly are so ensnared in each other’s lives
and lies that neither one knows how to get away—or even if
they want to. Is their love strong enough to withstand the
truth, or will it ultimately destroy them?
Something—or someone—has to give.
Which one will it be?
Inspired by James M. Cain’s masterpieces The Postman
Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, and
Mildred Pierce, Sunburn is a tantalizing
modern noir from the incomparable Laura Lippman.
