Death on the Press Trip: Sunshine, scandal and secrets: it's the most glamorous cozy crime of the year (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781917705882)

It all starts at a funeral in the rain. A funeral with no body...

A group of travel journalists board a plane for the trip of a lifetime to South America. For a while, it's bliss: sunshine, sightseeing and curated perfection. But even the most beautiful locations have a darker side.

As the press pack moves from Rio de Janeiro to the world's largest waterfall at Iguacu, through the Atacama Desert and deep into ice-bound Chilean Patagonia, danger begins to grow. But urban muggers, wild horses, glaciers and drunken soldiers aren't the only threats...

Within the group, rivalries begin to flare. Secrets are exposed and relationships blur between personal and professional. By the final night of the trip, it's clear one of them will not be on the flight back to England... but who?

Was it murder? A terrible accident? Or something far more calculated?

Witty, sun-soaked and deliciously sharp, Death on the Press Trip is packed with big personalities, exotic locations and a mystery that will keep you hooked, perfect for fans of The White Lotus and The Woman in Cabin 10.

Author Mark McCrum was once a full-time travel writer, working for everyone from Conde Nast Traveller to the Daily Mail. He has visited all the locations mentioned in this book - though the journalists described are, of course, entirely fictional.
