Sunstroke

Jesse Kellerman

Gloria Mendes is 36 single and obsessed with her boss Carl. For him she is the 'world's best secretary'. For her he is her future husband and the man she thinks about every waking hour. So when Carl disappears and is later found murdered while on a mysterious trip to a small town in Mexico Gloria's world falls apart.

Distraught and restless she travels to Mexico in an attempt to make some sense of his death. But what she discovers about the man she was in love with shocks her to the core. Nothing about him was as it seemed - from his business interests to his family background to his very identity. And the more she discovers about Carl the closer Gloria comes to the dark forces which claimed her boss's life - and now threaten her own . . .

A page-turning highly accomplished thriller SUNSTROKE marks the emergence of one of the most distinctive new voices in the genre.
