Synopsis
THE BRAND NEW, ADDICTIVE UP-ALL-NIGHT THRILLER
Six friends. Five secrets. One holiday to die for . . .
Welcome to THE WEEKEND.
When a group of friends rent a converted farmhouse in the Yorkshire Dales, they have little idea that this one weekend may change the course of their lives forever.
While out on a walk, a storm descends and the friends take shelter in the mouth of an old lead mine. Inside, they discover a backpack filled with more money than they've ever seen.
Of course, they agree, they will hand the money to the police at the first opportunity. But as the storm continues and time passes, some of the party begin to think again. Because there are secrets festering at the heart of this group. Debt. Obsession. A career on the brink. Problems that could be solved instantly with an unexpected windfall.
And perhaps they don't know each other as well as thought they did.
Before long, six good friends find themselves sliding headlong into a world of deceit, treachery, betrayal and murder . . .

Reviews
Expectations are always high with the publication of a new title by Logan . . . His trademark straightforward storytelling relies on creating very believable everyday characters in unsensational circumstances from which he manages to conjure extraordinary drama.
A brilliant thriller, full of deceit and backstabbing.
The extraordinary storytelling here will keep you hooked until the end.
[T.M. Logan is] a master at plunging everyday people into dark moral dilemmas before delivering twists and turns at breakneck speed, and a finale that packs a real punch. A hugely enjoyable pageturner that readers will struggle to put down.
