Two In The Pink

For fifteen years, Guillaume von Arnstett has been the tragic heir to one of Switzerland's oldest private banking fortunes - paralysed, everyone believes, since the skiing accident that killed the cousin he loved. Devoted, funny, and utterly convincing, he is exactly the man his American carer, Claire, falls for.But small things don't add up. A reflex that shouldn't exist. A phrase spoken too fluently. A predecessor who died in circumstances everyone agreed not to examine too closely, years before Claire ever arrived.As her doubt hardens into certainty, Claire finds herself inside a family that has spent a hundred and forty years perfecting the art of not looking - at a fifteen-year lie, at a death on a mountainside, and at a fortune whose origins reach back to a war nobody in that house has ever wanted to discuss.The truth, when it finally comes, will not spare anyone.Two in the Pink is a slow-burning, richly atmospheric psychological thriller about love, complicity, and what a family will bury to protect its own silence - for readers of The Secret History, Rebecca, and The Talented Mr. Ripley.
