'An addictive read that will remain with you long after you emerge from the rabbit hole' - THE TIMES<br><br>'A marvellously twisty whodunnit [with] the brutal, clockwork ingenuity of an Agatha Christie mystery' - FT<br><br> 'A pacy, exciting and most unusual crime story' - GUARDIAN<br>________________________________________<br><br>SHARING A BODY CAN BE MURDER<br><br>The Earth's spiralling population has finally been controlled. Lifespans are limited to eighty years, except for those who make an extreme choice: to become a commune. Five minds sharing one body, each living for four hours at a time. But with a combined lifespan of nearly 150 years.<br><br>Alex, Kate, Mike, Sierra and Ben have already spent twenty-five years together in what was once Mike's body, their frequent personality clashes leading to endless bickering, countless arguments, and getting themselves stranded on a Russian Arctic freighter. Wanting to buy upgrades for their next host body, they decide to travel to a Death Park where time can be gambled like money. But things go very wrong when Kate accepts a dangerous offer, and one of them disappears.<br><br>Someone is trying to kill off members of the commune. But why? Is one of them responsible? Or is an outsider playing a deadly game? It's hard enough to catch a murderer. It's almost impossible when you might be sharing a body with them...<br><br>This brilliant murder mystery blends classic crime with speculative fiction in a stunning debut.<br>______________________________________<br> <br> 'This clever, twisty debut really delivers.
