The new novel from Megan Abbott, the bestselling author of “The End of Everything” and “Dare Me”

Thanks to Pan Macmillan we are giving away 15 copies of “The Fever” by Megan Abbott, RRP $29.99.

“A chilling story about guilt, family secrets and the lethal power of desire”

For fans of Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, The Fever is Megan Abbott’s dark and thrilling novel about a mysterious illness that is taking hold of a high school. The novel found its origins in a national news story about a group of girls in upstate New York gripped by a mysterious illness.

The Nashes are a close-knit family. Tom, a popular teacher, is father to the handsome, roguish Eli and his younger sister Deenie, serious and sweet. But their seeming stability is thrown into chaos when two of Deenie’s friends become violently ill, and rumours of a dangerous outbreak sweep through the whole community.

As hysteria swells and as more girls succumb, tightly held secrets emerge that threaten to unravel the world Tom has built for his kids, and destroy friendships, families, and the town’s fragile idea of security. The Fever is a chilling story about guilt, family secrets, and the lethal power of desire.

Megan Abbott is an award-winning author of noir fiction including Queenpin and Bury Me Deep (nominated for the 2010 Edgar Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize). Her novel The End of Everything was a 2011 Richard and Judy selection and Dare Me was shortlisted for the CWA Steel Dagger 2012 and was a 2013 Specsavers Crime Thriller Bookclub selection. Dare Me is soon to be a major motion picture. Born in the Detroit area, she now lives in Queens, New York City.
