Relax. Recharge. Run for your life. High in the secluded Swiss Alps, The Sorgente wellness retreat promises luxury, rejuvenation, and exclusivity: a paradise for celebrities seeking anonymity. Chloe - a stressed-out publicity crisis manager whose job just about qualifies her for this kind of refuge - joins a select group of actors, celebrities and social media stars to relax and recharge. But when they arrive and have their technology confiscated, the group is horrified. To make matters worse, an avalanche traps them in the remote lodge overnight. When they awake in the morning, one of their own has been attacked, and it's not long before the bodies begin piling up. With the dangers of mother nature to contend with, the aerial lift down the mountain broken, and a killer on the loose, tensions couldn't be higher. As paranoia sets in and dark secrets unravel, they realize that nothing is as it seems. Someone is watching. Someone is hunting. And not everyone will make it out alive. The Alpine Retreat is the unrelenting and totally gripping new novel from queen of the survival thriller, Sarah Goodwin, perfect for fans of Sarah Pearse, Lucy Clarke and Lucy Foley.
