"Suspenseful as hell, and she writes like a dream [...] Lippman's always good, but this is a cut above."
-STEPHEN KING
They meet at a local tavern in the small town of Belleville, Delaware. Polly is set on heading west. Adam says he's also just passing through. Yet she stays. And he stays-drawn to the mysterious redhead whose quiet stillness both unnerves and excites him. Over the course of a punishing summer, Polly and Adam abandon themselves to a steamy, inexorable affair. Still, each holds something back from the other-dangerous, even lethal, secrets.
Then someone dies. 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 away-or even if they want to. Is their love strong enough to withstand the truth, or will it ultimately destroy them?
Something-or someone-has to give.
"Fast-paced and unpredictable...a smart, sly riff on love in a world of trouble that's puzzling until the very last piece falls into place."
-O, the Oprah Magazine
"Cool and twisty."

"Fast-paced and unpredictable, Sunburn is a smart, sly riff on love in a world of trouble that's puzzling until the very last piece falls into place." - O, the Oprah Magazine
"Cool and twisty." - New York Times Book Review
"A masterful mix from a total pro." - People
"Every time Laura Lippman comes out with a new book, I get chills because I know I am back in the hands of the master. She is simply a brilliant novelist, an unflinching chronicler of life in America right now, and Sunburn is her dark, gleaming noir gem. Read it." - Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl
"Laura Lippman continues to push the envelope of modern crime-writing. Sunburn, her take on noir, may be her nerviest novel yet, an unsparing look at how lovers can betray one another." - Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Suspenseful as hell, and she writes like a dream [...] Lippman's always good, but this is a cut above." - Stephen King
"Modern noir at its best, it will delight old-movie lovers, satisfy suspense readers, and reward Lippman's legion of fans." - Library Journal (starred review)
"You can tell how much fun the author had updating the classic noir tropes, and it's contagious. Plotty, page-turning pleasure." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"This is Lippman at her observant, fiercest best, a force to be reckoned with in crime fiction." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Ingeniously constructed and extremely suspenseful, the novel keeps us guessing right up until its final moments. Lippman is a popular and dependable writer, and this homage to classic noir showcases a writer at the height of her powers." - Booklist (starred review)
"I feel like it creates a whole new category, which I'm thinking of as 'femme noir' [...] She's taken this traditional noir structure of a man sweeping in to save a woman who then turns around and eats his heart out-she's turned that notion on its head." - Wall Street Journal
"The ingenious plot evolves into myriad twists that are as believable as they are surprising [...] Sunburn delivers one of the year's most intriguing mysteries." - Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers
"Another extraordinary novel from Laura Lippman-full of just-one-more chapter, stay-up-late suspense, but packed too with nuance, subtlety, observation and humanity. Lippman is a natural storyteller at the height of her powers." - Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"Sunburn was dark but not too dark, thrilling, richly descriptive with an utterly compelling protagonist...I read this book at a furious pace and never forgot about it all year. Sunburn was a reminder that storytelling matters and good storytelling is all too rare." - Roxane Gay
"spellbinding [...] this corkscrew of a book, with its psychological insights and sensual charisma, proves once again that Ms. Lippman, as a writer, is sui generis." - Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal
"Great book. Well paced. Beautifully observed details. Interesting characters and nuance in the right places. [...] Thoroughly enjoyed this book and the protagonist who is flawed and brilliant and ruthless and unapologetic." - Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author of Bad Feminist and Hunger
"A tantalising, ingeniuously constructed page-turner." - The Guardian
"Grips like the classic Hollywood black-and-white movie thrillers of the 1930s and 1940s. Sunburn unsettles from its first page." - The Times (London)
"Note-perfect noir...not to be missed." - Megan Abbott, Edgar Award-winning author of Dare Me and The Fever
"A pacy, pithy modern take on the noir tradition...terrific entertainment." - Sunday Mirror
"For once the blurb doesn't over-promise. Lippman writes the best opening pages of any thriller so far this year." - Daily Mail (UK)
