Dead Heat is Sabine Durrant's seventh work of dark psychological suspense. Its setting, part of the Greek Peloponnese, has obsessed her since she read Patrick Leigh Fermor's travel book The Mani in her twenties. Her previous thrillers include Lie with Me which was a Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller, and Sun Damage, which was subject to a fierce film and TV bidding war and is currently in production with Bad Wolf and Disney. Before becoming a full time novelist, Sabine Durrant worked in editorial at The Independent, The Sunday Times and The Guardian where she also wrote the weekly 'Sabine Durrant' interview with subjects as diverse as Archbishop Runcie, Stella McCartney and Jeff Goldblum. She has written two works of general fiction, including the bestselling Having it and Eating it, and two Connie Pickles novels for young adults. Her essay 'At Sea', for the collection Truth or Dare, was a personal investigation into the life and death of her father, a pilot in the Fleet Air Arm, who disappeared off the Dorset coast a few months after she was born. Sabine Durrant lives in south London with her husband, three adult children, one dog and two cats.
I loved this book. The descriptions are so beautiful that you almost don’t notice the brilliance of the plotting * Elly Griffiths * A real scorcher. You won't want to miss this one! * Harlan Coben * Gloriously dark and wildly engrossing, I was swept up in the sticky, claustrophobic web of twisted emotions, unnerving obsessions, murder and lies that Sabine Durrant so brilliantly and skilfully creates in Dead Heat * Lisa Jewell * Dead Heat is a sharply observed, sophisticated page-turner. Sun-drenched and dripping with suspense, this is the perfect summer read * Lucy Clarke * No one writes suspense like Sabine Durrant. Dead Heat is perfection * Clare Mackintosh * An unputdownable, unguessable, sun-drenched thriller. No one captures the deadly foibles of the middle classes better than Sabine Durrant * Erin Kelly * No one writes sun-soaked seductive and obsession like Sabine Durrant. Better than every season of The White Lotus spun into one, and drenched with danger, sex, and revenge. Sensational summer reading * Sarah Hilary * Tense, clever and so vividly written, I could really feel the deceit and betrayal sizzling under the hot Greek sun. I raced through it in one sitting * Ruth Mancini * More hooks than a Greek fishing boat, a deliciously dark, modern Greek Gatsby, with a minotaur of a monster at its heart. Absolutely, page-turningly perfect. I burned my way through it * Julia Crouch * Compelling, evocative and fiendishly smart, this unsettling literary thriller is a five-star triumph. * Isabelle Broom *
