“You can tell how much fun the author had updating the classic noir tropes, and it’s contagious. “Modern noir at its best, it will delight old-movie lovers, satisfy suspense readers, and reward Lippman’s legion of fans.” - Library Journal (starred review) “Suspenseful as hell, and she writes like a dream Lippman’s always good, but this is a cut above.” - Stephen King Sunburn, her take on noir, may be her nerviest novel yet, an unsparing look at how lovers can betray one another.” - Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Laura Lippman continues to push the envelope of modern crime-writing. Read it.” - Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl She is simply a brilliant novelist, an unflinching chronicler of life in America right now, and Sunburn is her dark, gleaming noir gem. “Every time Laura Lippman comes out with a new book, I get chills because I know I am back in the hands of the master. “A masterful mix from a total pro.” - People “Cool and twisty.” - New York Times Book Review “Fast-paced and unpredictable, Sunburn is a smart, sly riff on love in a world of trouble that’s puzzling until the very last piece falls into place.” - O, the Oprah Magazine “Fast-paced and unpredictable…a smart, sly riff on love in a world of trouble that’s puzzling until the very last piece falls into place.” - O, the Oprah Magazine “Cool and twisty.” - New York Times Book Review Is their love strong enough to withstand the truth, or will it ultimately destroy them? Was it an accident, or part of a plan? By now, Adam and Polly are so ensnared in each other’s lives and lies that neither one knows how to get away-or even if they want to. Still, each holds something back from the other-dangerous, even lethal, secrets. Over the course of a punishing summer, Polly and Adam abandon themselves to a steamy, inexorable affair. And he stays-drawn to the mysterious redhead whose quiet stillness both unnerves and excites him.
Adam says he’s also just passing through. “Suspenseful as hell, and she writes like a dream Lippman’s always good, but this is a cut above.” -STEPHEN KING They meet at a local tavern in the small town of Belleville, Delaware.
