The Rain Tree
Murder and decit in Thailand; everyone has something to hide

by Sylvie Phillips

A tropical paradise. A freak storm. A dead body. Offi cer Arunchit recognises the victim—and fears it is no accident.

Set in Thailand and England, The Rain Tree brings together an unlikely set of complex characters, each the victim of a personal tragedy, and each with something to hide.

As events slowly unfold, a dark cloud settles over the idyllic island of Koh Keo. Rather than being a tropical haven where each traveller can escape the harsh realities of life, this tiny paradise becomes a battleground of deceit, betrayal and, ultimately, murder.
