Synopsis

“Blue Monday leaves readers with the promise of intriguing tales to come” —People (four-star review)

Internationally bestselling authors Nicci Gerard and Sean French, writing as Nicci French, have sold more than eight million copies of their books worldwide. But nothing they’ve written written before has grabbed the attention of reviewers and readers likeBlue
Monday and its iconic heroine, Frieda Klein. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called it a “superb psychological thriller . . . with brooding atmosphere, sustained suspense, a last-minute plot twist, and memorable cast of characters.”

In Tuesday’s Gone, a London social worker makes a routine home visit only to discover her client, Michelle Doyce, serving afternoon tea to a naked, decomposing corpse. With no clues as to the dead man’s identity, Chief Inspector Karlsson again calls upon Frieda for help. She discovers that the body belongs to Robert Poole, con man extraordinaire. But Frieda can’t shake the feeling that the past isn’t done with her yet. Did someone kill Poole to embroil her in the investigation? And if so, is Frieda herself the next victim?

A masterpiece of paranoia, Tuesday’s Gone draws readers inexorably into a fractured and faithless world as it brilliantly confirms Frieda Klein as a quintessential heroine for our times.

This heart-stoppingly good tale sets the bar high for the next seven books - we can't wait to read them! (Good Housekeeping)

From the Back Cover:

'Will keep you on the edge of your seat. Even more gripping than Blue Monday' Daily Express

When a decomposing body is found in the flat of Michelle Doyce, a woman who is plainly deranged, the police call in psychotherapist Frieda Klein. They need Frieda to help Michelle identify the corpse.

But the name Frieda eventually uncovers is that of a master conman whose victims turn out to be as numerous as the possible motives for his murder. The police need Frieda to figure out who might be telling the truth - or lying - as they draw closer to identifying the killer. But someone is determined to silence her ... and will stop at nothing to do so.
