All journalist Jack Myers wants is a relaxing Irish holiday. Retreating from his job as a foreign correspondent, he thinks that he’s found the perfect place to enjoy the longest heatwave that Ireland’s ever experienced – the stately St Peter’s manor, perched on the edge of the mysterious Lough Derg.
However, when a mysterious drowning occurs during the annual Midsummer Ball, Jack’s instincts tell him that it’s no accident . . .
With his family in danger and an increasing body count, Jack must delve into the dark underside of the genteel world of sailing clubs and summer houses.
As Ireland swelters through its worst drought in decades, old wounds begin to fester. Jack soon discovers that everyone has a motive — and something to hide . . .
Will he be able to handle the heat?
