Description

Two female lawyers living the high life in the South of France explore the limits of their own corruption when they find themselves at the mercy of their dangerous clients who would prefer to kill them than be exposed. **AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW** 'A timely, gripping, and richly nuanced financial thriller' CHRIS PAVONE Who will pay the ultimate price? Vanessa and Kate live a glamorous life in the South of France helping the rich stay richer by hiding their money. While they know it's wrong, that their clients are corrupt, they are professionals and good at their jobs. Plus, there is the money . . . When their boss draws them deeper into his web of corruption, the chic veneer of their existence falls away, along with their excuses, leaving both women dangerously exposed to the lures of greed, gambling and hazardous liaisons. Vanessa and Kate become desperate for an escape route, a way to beat the system without destroying themselves, but the only ones available make them worse than those they are seeking to evade. While one woman pulls away from corruption, the other is drawn in. But just how far will each of them go for money - their clients' and their own - before a woman is killed? Amidst the opulence of the Cote D'Azur, Bay of Thieves explores the distorting power of wealth and its ability to destroy beliefs held over a lifetime. Praise for Megan Davis: 'A sharply written, clever and classy thrill-ride through the streets of Paris. Atmospheric and twisting' CHRIS WHITAKER 'An intelligent, gripping and stylish literary thriller - I couldn't put it down. Megan Davis is a major new talent' SOPHIE HANNAH 'Megan Davis's electric, suspenseful and stunning evocation of contemporary Paris is unforgettable' ELIZABETH MACNEAL 'A well-written, intriguing novel with an excellent sense of place' KAMILA SHAMSIE
