The Deaths

More about the book

Four families live in a beautiful stretch of English countryside. They are the new aristocracy and the elite of their village: financiers, business tycoons, lawyers, doctors, magistrates. They leave their rural idyll only to commute to London for meetings, deals and theatre outings. They and their children are protected by investments, pensions and expensive security systems. But the money is running out and as tensions and relationships develop within the group of friends, deep in the English winter, an unthinkable act of violence destroys these dream lives and demonstrates that the biggest threat may come from unexpected places.
