NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author of The Cloisters comes a slow-burn psychological drama about an opulent family that unravels when a decades-old crime resurfaces.“Full of chills and darkness.”—Oprah Daily“Fans of family dramas and thrillers will devour this tense, suspenseful novel.”—Woman’s WorldIn 1992, Sarah Lingate is found dead below the cliffs of Capri, Italy, leaving behind her three-year-old daughter, Helen. Despite suspicions that the old-money Lingates are involved, Sarah’s death is ruled an accident. And every year, the family returns to prove it’s true. But on the thirtieth anniversary of her death, the Lingates arrive at the villa to find a surprise waiting for them—the necklace Sarah was wearing the night she died.Haunted by the specter of that night, the paranoid, insular Lingate family begins to crack, and Helen seizes the opportunity with the help of Lorna Moreno, the family assistant. But then Lorna disappears, and the investigation into Sarah’s death is reopened. Everyone who was on Capri thirty years ago remains a suspect—Helen’s controlling father, Richard; her rarely lucid aunt, Naomi; her distant uncle, Marcus; and their circle of friends, visitors, and staff. Even Lorna, her closest ally, may not be who she seems. As long-hidden secrets about that night boil to surface, one thing becomes clear: Not everyone will leave the island alive.Combining a glittering, dark atmosphere, morally-gray characters, and mind-bending twists, Saltwater is an exploration of the corrupting effects of generational privilege and the lengths people go to protect a legacy—and how no one can hold a grudge like family.

E-book‘Ondanks de zonnige setting van Capri geeft dit boek je de koude rillingen.’ – Oprah DailyOok een zonnig eiland in Italië kan duistere geheimen verbergen…Dertig jaar geleden werd Sarah Lingate dood aangetroffen in de zee bij Capri. Ondanks vermoedens dat haar man en zijn zeer rijke familie er iets mee maken hadden, was de conclusie dat het om een tragisch ongeluk ging. In de decennia die volgden weerhielden de roddels en nare herinneringen de Lingates er niet van om iedere zomer vakantie te vieren op het prachtige eiland. Maar nu treffen ze in hun vaste vakantievilla een verontrustende verrassing aan: de verloren gewaande ketting die Sarah droeg op de avond dat ze stierf… Terwijl lang verborgen geheimen bekend worden, wordt de loyaliteit van de familie tot het uiterste getest en al snel wordt één ding duidelijk: niet iedereen zal het eiland levend verlaten. ‘Perfect voor de fans van The White Lotus.’ – People Magazine ‘Hays deelt op precies de juiste momenten schokkende onthullingen uit. Dit meesterlijke suspenseverhaal leest als een voortdenderende trein.’ – Publishers Weekly, starred review ‘De lezer valt van de ene twist in de andere. […] Hays combineert de dreiging van een Hitchcock-film met Patricia Highsmiths sluwe en herkenbaar gebrekkige personages. Een meeslepend boek.’ – Booklist, starred review ‘Een stormachtige Griekse tragedie rondom drie moderne vrouwen.’ – Kirkus Reviews
