psychological thriller by the critically acclaimed author of A
Suitable Lie and In the Absence of Miracles. 'Compelling,
disturbing and engaging' Caro Ramsay 'Malone is the master of
twists, turns and the unexpected, with the skill to keep things

______________________________________________ The darker the
memory, the deadlier the obsession... Jenna is trying to rebuild
her life after a series of disastrous relationships. Luke is
struggling to provide a safe, loving home for his deceased
partner's young son, following a devastating tragedy. When Jenna
and Luke meet and fall in love, they are certain they can achieve
the stability and happiness they both desperately need. And yet,
someone is watching. Someone who has been scarred by past events.
Someone who will stop at nothing to get revenge... Dark, unsettling
and immensely moving, Quicksand of Memory is a chilling reminder
that we are not only punished for our sins, but by them, and that
memories left to blacken and sharpen over time are the perfect
breeding ground for obsession, and murder...
