Was it an accident, or part of a plan? By now, Adam and Polly are so ensnared in each other's lives and lies that neither one knows how to get awayâ?or even if they want to. Still, each holds something back from the otherâ?dangerous, even lethal, secrets. Over the course of a punishing summer, Polly and Adam abandon themselves to a steamy, inexorable affair. Yet she stays and he staysâ?drawn to this mysterious redhead whose quiet stillness both unnerves and excites him. They meet at a local tavern in the small town of Belleville, Delaware. Crackling with sun-kissed suspense and twisted eroticism, Lippman’s unputdownable noir thriller sends two mysterious drifters - both harbouring dark secrets - into a steamy, sensuous affair in small town America. But instead of rules, this game has dark secrets, forbidden desires, inevitable betrayalsâ?and cold-blooded murder.

Laura Lippman, whose novels have won numerous crime-fiction prizes, calls Sunburn her first venture into noir, in part inspired by her admiration for James M.
