A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'It's such a thrill to read a book as deliciously dark and richly evocative as Tideline. From the first page to its shocking finale it draws you into its world and won't let go. A wonderful debut... I took Tideline on my travels, thinking it would last me a couple of weeks. Two days later I'd finished it, having stayed up all night, and was telling everyone I met they had got to read it. Brilliantly written and totally gripping. I loved it'
S J Watson, author of Before I Go To Sleep
'A dark and evocative thriller where a woman abducts a teenage boy and holds him hostage in her house in Greenwich' Sun
'Very clever and very chilling, and the surprises keep on coming until the very end... It is incredible that such a gripping thriller can also be so compassionate in its dealings with its characters' Julia Crouch, author of Cuckoo
'A gripping account of a woman on the edge, who commits appalling crimes and offers them up in a tone of quietly rational domesticity' N J Cooper

Quatrième de couverture :

'He comes to me when the chatter of school children has died away.
This is a silent time, almost as if the river and I are waiting'
On a winter's afternoon, Sonia opens the door of her beautiful Greenwich home to fifteen-year-old Jez, the nephew of a family friend. He's come to borrow some music. Sonia invites him in, pours him a drink and realises she can never let him leave.
Haunted by memories of an intense teenage relationship, Sonia is filled with an overpowering desire to keep Jez hidden and protected from the outside world. It is as though her own life depends on it. And outside, on the shores of the Thames, long held secrets are coming in on the tide . . .
'It's such a thrill to read a book as deliciously dark and richly evocative as Tideline. From the first page to its shocking finale it draws you into its world and won't let go' S J Watson
'There are hints of a young Daphne du Maurier in Hancock's cool prose' Daily Mail
