Beschreibung
A traumatised young woman meets a man who offers security, but her nightmare is far from finished . . . “I really enjoyed this. A touch of Highsmith about it.” —Ian Rankin, author of the Inspector Rebus novels Sandrine’s round-the-world backpacking trip was supposed to be an adventure. But she returned to Switzerland penniless, pregnant, and emotionally shattered. The man who stalked her committed suicide, the man she fell for abandoned her, and now Sandrine is trying to take care of her baby, Kai, and her father, who is slipping into dementia. She finds herself both nervous and thrilled when an American named Scott takes an immediate interest in her after a chance meeting in a café. He’s the picture of sun-bleached physical perfection, and he treats her—and Kai—with care and generosity. Sandrine is tempted to believe her luck is finally changing for the better. Despite the sudden arrival of her supposed Prince Charming, though, she may not be on the verge of living happily ever after . . . From the prize-winning author of Strangers on a Bridge, The Beaten Track is “an unputdownable, spine-chilling backpacking voyage through the depths of a dark and dangerous obsession” (Julia Crouch, author of The Daughters).
