Privilege, sex, scandal, and murder.


The new novel from Sunday Times-bestselling author James Frey.

'Will be the novel on every beach towel this summer, all summer, everywhere' Esquire

'A deliriously over-the-top portrait of decadence on the brink' Bustle

'A Connecticut sex romp-cum-murder mystery' Vanity Fair

Behind every great fortune, lies a great crime - Honore de Balzac

New Bethlehem, Connecticut. Picture-perfect lawns, manicured hedges, multi-million dollar homes. But beneath the designer yoga gear and country club memberships lies a darker reality.

In this world of excess, Devon and Belle have it all - beauty, money, status. But they want something more. Something dangerous. Something that makes them feel alive. Their solution? A party - a meticulously curated gathering of New Bethlehem's elite, from a desperate ex-NFL quarterback to a hockey coach with a penchant for married women, and a ruthless Wall Street 'closer' who wields his wealth like a weapon.

One night. Multiple betrayals. And a murder that will shatter New Bethlehem's carefully constructed facade.

Fans of The White Lotus and Big Little Lies will be drawn into the dark underbelly of the American Dream - a world where money can buy anything, until it ruins everything.

'A mix of wit, mystery and dark undertone ... I couldn't put it down ... Perfect pool side reading'

'Super fun and sexy summer read! Rich people behaving badly'
