The Heat of the Summer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781916016569)

The time of your life comes at a price

Luke, though only 18, already has baggage. An overbearing mother for one, and a past trauma that continues to haunt him. So he takes a holiday with his best mates. A chance for them to forget everything for a week and get boozed and sexed up.

But the island party scene brings long-standing tensions to the fore. Soon, Luke is making new friends, like the charismatic DJ K-OS and the alluring but untouchable Alice, whose warnings about the rabbit hole go unheard by Luke until it's too late.

What ensues is a journey into the darkest reaches of the human psyche, and Luke must find a way back before he is lost for good.
