Robin Newbold: When The Darkness Swallowed The Sun, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A dream island, two brutal murders, your worst nightmare...

Based on the author's own experiences as a foreign correspondent in Thailand and inspired by the brutal double murder of Hannah Witheridge and David Miller on the golden sands of Koh Tao in 2014.

Haunted by guilt after a deadly accident, journalist Dan Young flees to Bangkok, reinventing himself in the city's expat underworld.

But when two backpackers are savagely murdered on a paradise island, he's drawn into the case - an obsession that only leads him further towards the shadows. On the blood-stained sands he meets Chalerm, a magnetic Thai drifter whose easy charm hides a predator's gaze.

As the young man pulls Dan deeper into his orbit, loyalties fracture, desires ignite and the island dream descends into a nightmare. Think The Beach rebooted for Gen Z.
