The cover of “ Sunburn” caught my eye right away. Cain’s masterpieces The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, and Mildred Pierce, Sunburn is a tantalizing modern noir from the incomparable Laura Lippman. Is their love strong enough to withstand the truth, or will it ultimately destroy them?
Was it an accident, or part of a plan? By now, Adam and Polly are so ensnared in each other’s lives and lies that neither one knows how to get away-or even if they want to. Still, each holds something back from the other-dangerous, even lethal, secrets. Over the course of a punishing summer, Polly and Adam abandon themselves to a steamy, inexorable affair. Yet she stays and he stays-drawn to this mysterious redhead whose quiet stillness both unnerves and excites him.
They meet at a local tavern in the small town of Belleville, Delaware. But instead of rules, this game has dark secrets, forbidden desires, inevitable betrayals-and cold-blooded murder. New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman returns with a superb novel of psychological suspense about a pair of lovers with the best intentions and the worst luck: two people locked in a passionate yet uncompromising game of cat and mouse.
