From the author of the acclaimed New York Times bestseller Into the Darkest Corner comes another page-turning novel of "gripping suspense" — The Wall Street Journal

Genevieve has finally escaped the stressful demands of her sales job and achieved her dream: to leave London and begin a new life aboard a houseboat in Kent. Not many people know that she financed her fresh start by working weekends as a dancer at a gentlemen's club called the Barclay, and she's determined to keep it that way.

But on the night of her housewarming party, the past intrudes when a body washes up beside the boat. Genevieve recognizes the victim, a fellow dancer from the Barclay. As the sanctuary of the marina is threatened, and Genevieve's life seems increasingly at risk, the story of how she came to be so out of her depth unfolds, and she discovers the hard way the real cost of mixing business with pleasure.

      Haynes follows her well-received debut, Into the Darkest Corner (2011), with an intense psychological thriller. Genevieve Shipley made good money at her software sales job in London, but dancing at an exclusive gentleman’s club was more lucrative. She succeeded in earning enough money to quit both jobs and now lives on a houseboat in a Kent marina. Her first party on the boat ends abruptly with her finding the body of lap dancer Caddy Smith, the only friend Genevieve had at the Barclay Club, floating in the water nearby. Genevieve believes she was the real target, and that the Barclay owners are after the package she agreed to hold for the club’s bouncer with whom she had a brief relationship and who’s now unreachable. A convincing portrayal of a woman who’s both naïve and self-confident elevates the solid plot, which alternates between the present and the past when Genevieve chose to ignore the illegal goings-on at the club. Agent: Adrian Weston, Adrian Weston Literary Agency.

      Haynes's debut, Into the Darkest Corner, was named an Amazon UK 2011 Best Book of the Year and an Amazon Best Book for June 2012, so expect good things from this follow-up. Genevieve has abandoned rat-race London to fulfill her dream of living on a houseboat. She kept her boat's odd name, Revenge of the Tide, which proves prophetic when a dead body washes up nearby as she hosts a boat-warming party. What's worse, she recognizes the victim as a friend from her nights spent dancing on-stage at a private club--her means of funding her getaway. Is there a connection? With a 60,000-copy first printing; promotion at Bouchercon and ALA Midwinter.
