What unfolds next is an unmatched rollercoaster, throttling from exquisite tension to fiendish twists. As circumstances spiral out of Oliver’s control, this runaway-train story will leave thriller fans feverishly flipping pages. How far can Oliver’s salacious secret extend before his precarious balancing act collapses?
With its contemporary themes yet timeless page-turning suspense, Bath Haus ensnares even the most curious readers seeking their newest fiction obsession.
