THE CLIFFHANGER

A High-Concept Domestic Thriller for readers of Claire Douglas and Gillian Flynn

Felix and Emma, as the husband-and-wife team behind a series of bestselling thrillers, have it all. Their meteoric rise to global literary fame seemed unstoppable, until writer's block hit. The couple escape New York to a villa in France, with nothing to distract them from penning their next book other than the crumbling of their own marriage. As tensions come to a boil under the summer heat, Felix starts drinking to excess. As the novel nears completion, he wakes up from his latest blackout only to discover that Emma has disappeared mirroring the plot of their latest work in progress. Felix scrambles for answers, increasingly worried that in his drunken state he is somehow behind Emma's disappearance. Unfortunately for him, the police suspect the same.
