Summer seemed to arrive at that moment, with its mysterious mixture of salt, cold flesh and fuel.
Magnificently told by each of the five characters in turn, Tigers in Red Weather is a simmering novel of passion, betrayal and secret violence beneath a polished and fragile facade.
Tigers in Red Weather came to Picador after a hotly contested 8 publisher auction, which set the industry alight with excitement.
The epitome of East Coast glamour, Tiger House is where the beautiful and the damned have always come to play in summer, scene of martinis and moonlit conspiracies, and newly inherited by the sleek, beguiling Nick.
The Second World War is just ending, Nicks cousin Helena has left her in search of married bliss in Hollywood, and Nicks husband is coming home. Everything is about to change.
Their children will surprise them. A decade later, on the cusp of adolescence, Nicks daughter and Helenas son make a sinister discovery that plunges the islands bright heat into private shadow.
