"Another extraordinary novel from Laura Lippman--full of just-one-more chapter, stay-up-late suspense, but packed too with nuance, subtlety, observation and humanity. Lippman is a natural storyteller at the height of her powers."--Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"I feel like it creates a whole new category, which I'm thinking of as 'femme noir' [...] She's taken this traditional noir structure of a man sweeping in to save a woman who then turns around and eats his heart out--she's turned that notion on its head."--Wall Street Journal
"Every time Laura Lippman comes out with a new book, I get chills because I know I am back in the hands of the master. She is simply a brilliant novelist, an unflinching chronicler of life in America right now, and Sunburn is her dark, gleaming noir gem. Read it."--Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl
"You can tell how much fun the author had updating the classic noir tropes, and it's contagious. Plotty, page-turning pleasure."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Modern noir at its best, it will delight old-movie lovers, satisfy suspense readers, and reward Lippman's legion of fans."--Library Journal (starred review)
"This is Lippman at her observant, fiercest best, a force to be reckoned with in crime fiction."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Ingeniously constructed and extremely suspenseful, the novel keeps us guessing right up until its final moments. Lippman is a popular and dependable writer, and this homage to classic noir showcases a writer at the height of her powers."--Booklist (starred review)
"Laura Lippman continues to push the envelope of modern crime-writing. Sunburn, her take on noir, may be her nerviest novel yet, an unsparing look at how lovers can betray one another."--Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"spellbinding [...] this corkscrew of a book, with its psychological insights and sensual charisma, proves once again that Ms. Lippman, as a writer, is sui generis."--Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
"Suspenseful as hell, and she writes like a dream [...] Lippman's always good, but this is a cut above."--Stephen King

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. But instead of rules, this game has dark secrets, forbidden desires, inevitable betrayals—and cold-blooded murder.
One is playing a long game. But which one?
They meet at a local tavern in the small town of Belleville, Delaware. Polly is set on heading west. Adam says he’s also passing through. Yet she stays and he stays—drawn to this mysterious redhead whose quiet stillness both unnerves and excites him. Over the course of a punishing summer, Polly and Adam abandon themselves to a steamy, inexorable affair. Still, each holds something back from the other—dangerous, even lethal, secrets.
Then someone dies. 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. Is their love strong enough to withstand the truth, or will it ultimately destroy them?
Something—or someone—has to give.
Which one will it be?
Inspired by James M. Cain’s masterpieces The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity, and Mildred Pierce, Sunburn is a tantalizing modern noir from the incomparable Laura Lippman.
