Five Nights, the “gripping and glamorous thriller” by Rachel Wolf, has been snapped up by Head of Zeus.

Five Nights stars a powerful family, the Scarmados, who start to unravel when the head of the
family decides to take his four adult children and his new, young wife on the maiden voyage of
one of his luxury cruise ships. From the moment they arrive on the ship, sinister things start to
happen… And, looming over everyone, is the question that haunts them all: What really happened
to Mattia’s first wife three years ago?

Publishing director Laura Palmer said: “I love Rachel’s lyrical and compelling writing, and she is in her element here with this tightly plotted, claustrophobic and propulsive novel about a family’s dark secrets coming to light over five nights at sea.”

Eve White added: “I am thrilled that Head of Zeus will be publishing this cracking page-turner of a novel. Rachel has crafted such a clever and moreish plot so full of suspense that I simply couldn’t put it down.”
