His wife fears he will come home. His lover fears he won’t.

Madrid businessman Javier has spent years balancing two lives: a cold marriage to Claudia, and a secret, all-consuming love with Inés. When his plane goes down over the Atlantic on the way to the Canary Islands, the four women closest to him (his wife, his lover, his business partner Lucía and his loyal assistant Marta) are left waiting for news, and with the secrets he kept from each of them.

Told through the eyes of these four women, DEAD is a short, tense domestic novel about love, betrayal, guilt and the lies we tell the people closest to us. Was Javier the man each of them believed him to be? And if he comes back, who will he come back to?

Perfect for readers of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Laura Dave.
