Sweet Fury

Brought to you by Penguin.

The Silent Patient meets The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in this elegant and twisty debut thriller.

When does the acting stop - and the deception begin?

Famous film star Lila Crayne is America's Sweetheart: she's generous and kind, gorgeous and magnetic. A golden girl. She and her fiancé, visionary filmmaker Kurt Royall, have settled into a stunning New York apartment, and are embarking on a new movie: a modern feminist adaptation of a classic twentieth-century novel.

To prepare for the leading role, Lila begins work with charming and accomplished therapist Jonah Gabriel to dig into the trauma of her past. Soon, Lila's impeccably manicured life begins to unravel on the therapy couch - and Jonah is just the man to pick up the pieces. But everyone has a secret, no one is quite who they seem, and before long, careers, reputations and lives are in danger of being irrevocably destroyed . . .

'A breathlessly fun, dark, and twisty tale of feminist revenge' --Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice

'Twisty and immersive, it seduces you into a story so compelling that you aren't ready for the sucker-punch of its deeper truths. This is a hell of a debut' --Rebecca Makkai, author of I Have Some Questions For You

'A sharp, seductive thriller that probes the dark underbelly of Hollywood' --Jean Kwok, author of The Leftover Woman
