Klappentext

The latest instalment of Luke Jennings's bestselling Killing Eve series - the inspiration behind the BAFTA-winning drama starring Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh. 'A fast-paced thriller, a love story... Luke Jennings has his own breathtakingly original take on love and death' - Michael Ridpath

I lie to her constantly, and it's always the same lie. That I'm as human as she is.

Deceived once too often by Oxana, Eve flees to the country town where she lived as a child. But violence and death are hard on her heels, and time will not be turned back. Reeling from Eve's departure, Oxana throws herself into her latest mission: to assassinate the leaders of a newly formed European drug cartel.

Turkish mafia boss Tahir Yilmaz is hosting a voyage around the Greek islands on his luxury yacht Medusa. The group includes his seventeen-year-old daughter Defne and her friend Buse, and Tahir is taking no chances. He's hired a chaperone, a nanny from a top-drawer English training school. At least he thinks that's who Oxana is...

As the Medusa moves from isle to idyllic isle, a brutal showdown draws closer, and with it, a deadly reckoning for Eve and Oxana. Can the star-crossed couple save their relationship? Can they even save themselves?

The latest Killing Eve adventure is charged with all the savage humour, chilling violence and perversely romantic longing that fans of the series have come to love and expect. Welcome aboard the Medusa!

Praise for the bestselling KILLING EVE series

'Villanelle is one of the most entrancing characters ever created, simultaneously a heroine and villain, both fascinating and frightening. This twisty, jaw-dropping tale kept me gripped from beginning to end.' - International bestselling author Tess Gerritsen

Somehow Luke Jennings does it again: makes you root for a psychopath and the woman who will share her life provided they dodge bullets and her own murderous impulses - Author and journalist Catherine Mayer

'A welcome return for an icon of spy fiction' - Sunday Times bestselling author Charles Cumming

Topples the typical spy-action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse ― Sunday Express

A memorable protagonist . . . there is an extra sheen of glamour that makes Villanelle more a James Bond than a mere killer ― Daily Mail

Like Ian Fleming, Jennings is at once tongue-in-cheek and serious . . . His version of 007 is great fun ― Sunday Times

A short howitzer of a novel . . . Jennings writes at supersonic speed, packing in an impressive number of violent set pieces and sex scenes. The breakneck pace is undeniably addictive but he also displays an offbeat sense of humour ― Metro

Exciting and fun ― Daily Express

Reads a little like Terry Hayes's I Am Pilgrim in miniature . . . the final pages are thrilling ― The Spectator

Racy in several senses and gripping from the word go, you can also see why BBC America commissioned a television version of Jennings's sensational thriller ― Radio Times
