Description

This place will change your life . . . or end it.

Welcome to The Clinic.

The world's most exclusive rehab clinic offers treatment to the rich and famous. Meg's sister Haley was one of them - a troubled pop star running from a terrible addiction.

Between the luxury spa, the ayurvedic yoga and the world-class therapy, the clinic is a perfect place to heal and brush shoulders with the world's most beautiful people. Safely locked in the secluded compound, its patients are a thousand miles away from crazed fans and paparazzi... with no one to call for help.

When Haley is found dead at the clinic, Meg checks in under an alias to find out why. Soon she's confronting a whole lot more than her own addiction - there's a killer on the loose and anyone could be next . . .

Reviews

A fast-paced, personal and twisty thriller that deals brilliantly with trauma and addiction while propelling us through the story. Loved it. * Anna Mazzola, bestselling author of THE CLOCKWORK GIRL and THE HOUSE OF WHISPERS *
The Clinic drew me in from its tense first page and left me thinking long after I finished it. It's a twisty mystery with feeling that kept me turning the pages until well into the night. * Sara Ochs, author of THE DIVE *
Cate Quinn's propulsive thriller The Clinic reads like an edge-of-your-seat page-turner, with clever twists and turns and redirections, all while taking place at an unconventional rehab clinic in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest coast, but at its core this is a haunting story of addiction, long-lasting trauma, and the power of transformative change - I absolutely loved it. * Ashley Tate, author of TWENTY-SEVEN MINUTES *
With relentless writing and twists around every corner, Cate Quinn weaves a gripping mystery through the world of luxury rehab that will have you saying 'one more chapter' until you hit the final page. So be warned, once you step foot in The Clinic, the doors lock behind you. * Tony Wirt, author of JUST STAY AWAY *
The Clinic weaves moving portrayals of rehab into a twisty, beautifully written mystery. With enigmatic characters and a vivid atmosphere, Cate Quinn delivers a pitch-perfect page-turner. I devoured it. * RJ Jacobs, author of ALWAYS THE FIRST TO DIE and THIS IS HOW WE END THINGS *
I loved The Clinic. It has it all, a gloriously dysfunctional heroine, an impossibly glamorous setting, evil scientists, hot psychiatrists and a cast of gorgeous, wealthy fuckups. Not only that, it has so many twists I nearly forgot I've been sober for nearly four years. And underneath the rollIcking story, there's a serious look at the nature of addiction and how it can tear lives apart. So addictive, I almost booked into rehab. * Julia Crouch, author of THE NEW MOTHER *
A taut and claustrophobic page-turner, which cleverly explores the effects of trauma and addiction within a twisty plot which keeps you questioning your own assumptions right to the end. * RM Ward, author of SAFE WITH YOU *
Wow! The Clinic is a taut, tense page turner that asks whether the most dangerous secrets are the ones we keep from ourselves. Meg is a wonderfully complex, damaged human character, and may well be my favourite ass-kicking heroine since Lisbeth Salander ... pure page-turning gold!' * Derek Farrell, author of The Danny Bird Mysteries series *
An absolutely propulsive read that grabbed me by the throat and never let go until the final page. * Cass Green, Sunday Times bestselling author of IN A COTTAGE IN A WOOD *
