Description

It's the Summer of 1967. The sun shines brightly over Boundary Pond, a lake on the US-Canadian border. Holiday makers enjoy the summer, happy and carefree. Zaza Mulligan and Sissy Morgan play in the hot sand. Children run along the beach as the hours tick away to the sound of the radio blaring out the latest hits and the smell of barbecues. Life seems idyllic. But then Zaza disappears, and the skies begin to cloud over...

Reviews

This book is incredible... How have I never heard of Andre Michaud before -- Sam Baker * The Pool *
This felt like a grown-up version of crime fiction with plenty of layers and issues to ponder which in many ways lends itself to a more contemplative reading experience than most crime fiction -- Cleo Bannister * Cleopatra Loves Books *
The Last Summer is fierce and penetrating, with an otherworldly feel, it is quite simply, a wonderfully fascinating read -- Liz Robinson * LoveReadingUK *
a deeply evocative, exquisitely written character study that will stay with me for a long time. I adored it -- Chris Whitaker, Author of Tall Oaks and All The Wicked Girls, winner of the CWA New Blood Dagger
There is a sinuous grace to Michaud's writing, an elegance which elevates the elementary plot -- Rabeea Saleem * Storgy *
