PAUL IS DEAD

Douglas Whiteway

• A how- and whydunit about what happens when a group of friends let an outsider in for the weekend, this unsettling novel tracks with escalating tension the unravelling lives of two guilt-laden characters after seemingly innocent events threaten to unearth the panicked decisions and deadly results of one terrible evening
• From an internationally published and bestselling author, Paul is Dead is written in the tradition of Donna Tartt's The Secret History, with the generous sweep and depth of character found in Meg Wolitzer's The Interestings
• Set largely in the dark, damp atmosphere of a Victorian cottage, suffused with teenage lust and 1960s Beatlemania, Whiteway's gift for character is matched only by his dry wit and linguistic skill—this is a suspenseful novel rooted in nostalgia and human psychology
