Dark, compelling, and wickedly smart ... deliciously twisted thriller' Lisa Jewell, author of None of This is True
'By turns gory, shocking, macabre and often very funny, you won't be able to put it down' Alex Michaelides, author of The Silent PatientAs Dante and his friends leave their small town for the rush of the big city, they can only think of the endless possibilities. But Rio de Janeiro is not the easiest place to live in and the rent is due every month. As a kind gesture turns rotten, Dante and his crew have to figure out a way to make money, and to make it fast. They find their answer through a new website, offering authentic dinners to foreign travellers and Rio's elite. How hard can it be? When a joke addition to the menu sees them make all the money they need in one night, Dante is faced with a question he never thought he would be: how much money is enough to stop cooking human flesh?'Secret Dinner is delectable and diabolical, a zesty blend of Parasite, Sweeney Todd, and Fight Club.' A. J. Finn, author of The Woman in the Window
'Secret Dinner is a potent combination of gallows humor, Hitchcockian suspense, and trenchant social commentary. Bold and bloody, it's a thriller with real bite.' Riley Sager, author of The Only One Left
'Fast-paced tale ... quickly morphs into something much more sinister.' The New York Times
