A TRIUMPH' GUARDIAN*One of the Sunday Times `Best Thrillers to Read Now'*Molly and George Warburton are used to living life their own way. Now, in the ferocious heat of Sin City, the couple are facing up to their failures and final years. They announce that their grandson Luke - college dropout, aspiring writer, electronic dance music aficionado - will inherit their millions. It is sudden news that leaves their daughter Gina hell-bent on revenge. Yet Luke's good fortune will not last. When a strange newcomer to the neighbourhood insinuates himself into the Warburtons' world, it is the beginning of a chain of chilling events that could split the family permanently and put all their lives at risk. The question is, do they have what it takes to survive?PRAISE FOR THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR:`Welsh writes with a skill, wit and compassion that amounts to genius' Sunday Times`No living author is as entertaining to read' GQ`Powerful.bracing and engaging' Daily Telegraph
