From the Back Cover:
"The Dead of Summer is like an addiction--so impossible to put down, it s consumed far too soon. Camilla Way weaves an inexorable web of innocent love and evil, tightening the strands until there is no room to move, no hope of escape."--Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of Still SummerAt thirteen, Anita Naidu was the sole witness to London s notorious cave murders of 1986, which left three children dead. Told seven years later to the police psychologist who interviewed her at the time of the killings, Anita s story exposes the savagery of the schoolyard one chilling detail at a time until the truth reveals itself with startling ferocity. Set against the bustling, tourist-packed streets of historic Greenwich, this audacious debut is a tale of living and dying, quite literally, just below the surface. "Camilla Way's skill at developing realistic, sympathetic characters and a compelling story is impressive. I'm looking forward to reading more from this promising British journalist."--The Kansas City Star
Camilla Way lives in London and works as a journalist. This is her first novel.
