The Colleagues

A standalone psychological thriller about three single women, Liz, Bev and Natasha, who work for the same company under their charming, handsome boss, Edwin. Behind his charm, Edwin is a serial predator and tax cheat who exploits his female employees, buying their silence with money and non-disclosure agreements before discarding them.

All three women have been victimised by him, and all three hate him enough to want him dead. Drawn together by what they have suffered, the colleagues become friends and then conspirators, devising what they believe is a foolproof plan to commit the perfect murder.

But none of them is truly cut out for what they have set in motion, and once the deed is done there is no going back. As they try to cover their tracks and get away with it, the strain threatens to tear them apart, and it becomes clear that not all of them will survive the fallout.

Hurst returns to his familiar themes of betrayal and revenge in a gripping, page-turning thriller with a shock ending.
