Synopsis
Perfect strangers.
A perfect holiday.
The perfect murder...
Three couples meet around the pool on their Florida holiday and become fast friends. But on their last night, their perfect holiday takes a tragic twist: the teenage daughter of another holidaymaker goes missing, and her body is later found floating in the mangroves.
When the shocked couples return home, they remain in contact, and over the course of three increasingly fraught dinner parties they come to know one another better. But they don't always like what they find: buried beneath these apparently normal exteriors are some dark secrets, hidden kinks, ugly vices...
Then, a second girl goes missing.
Could it be that one of these six has a secret far darker than anybody can imagine?
A brilliantly plotted, utterly gripping thriller about the danger of making friends on holiday, Rush of Blood is Mark Billingham's most ambitious and accomplished work to date.

Review
Hugely effective and entertaining . . . many twists and shocks (The Times)
The suspense is expertly built...the perfect ending to an extremely gripping book (Daily Express)
Very effective...excellent stuff (Daily Mail)
Billingham ratchets up the tension, with a twist-filled climax that shows exactly why he's one of the UK's leading crime writers (Shortlist)
A superbly plotted book (Reader's Digest)
Dialogue is perfectly pitched...It is a credit to Billingham's skill as a writer that his characters reveal so much to the reader when blethering around the dinner table while revealing so little to one another (Scotland on Sunday)
Page-turning...assertive crime writing (Good Book Guide)
