A chilling thriller as compulsive as Emma Cline's The Girls.

It's the Summer of 1967. The sun shines brightly over Boundary lake, a holiday haven on the US-Canadian border. Families relax in the heat, happy and carefree. Hours tick away to the sound of radios playing 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' and 'A Whiter Shade of Pale'. Children run along the beach as the heady smell of barbecues fills the air. Zaza Mulligan and Sissy Morgan, with their long, tanned legs and silky hair, relish their growing reputation as the red and blond Lolitas. Life seems idyllic.

But then Zaza disappears, and the skies begin to cloud over...

(Originally published in the UK in hardback and trade paperback as Boundary)



ANDREE A. MICHAUD is a two-time winner of the Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction (Le Ravissement in 2001 and Bondree in 2014) and the recipient of the Arthur Ellis Award and the Prix Saint-Pacome for Best Crime Novel for Bondree (The Last Summer), as well as the 2006 Prix Ringuet for Mirror Lake (adapted for the big screen in 2013). Bondree also won the Prix du Conseil des arts et des lettres du Quebec for Book of the Year 2015 in Eastern Townships and the Prix des Lecteurs for Best French Crime Novel at the Quais du Polar 2017. As she has done since her very first novel, Michaud fashions an eminently personal work that never ceases to garner praise from critics and avid mystery readers alike. Donald Winkler is a Canadian documentary maker and French-to-English translator. He won the Canadian Govenor General's Award for French to English translation in 1994, 2011 and 2013.



'This book is incredible... How have I never heard of Andrée Michaud before?'



'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'



'The Last Summer is fierce and penetrating, with an otherworldly feel, it is quite simply, a wonderfully fascinating read'



'a deeply evocative, exquisitely written character study that will stay with me for a long time. I adored it'



'There is a sinuous grace to Michaud's writing, an elegance which elevates the elementary plot'
