Epic love and long-kept secrets collide in this evocative and enthralling historical fiction novel set against the backdrop of the era-defining 1976 European heatwave, as one woman's search for her missing husband takes her from London to Paris, Zurich to Berlin and beyond...
June, 1976. Western Europe is caught in the grips of a relentless and sweltering heatwave. In London, the summer marks a milestone of a different kind for Edie: a decade married to the love of her life, and their first child on the way.
But on the night that she plans to tell Joe their news, he doesn't come home. Fearing the worst, Edie scours the city for her missing husband, and eventually she unearths a clue: Joe's wedding ring, alongside a note urging her towards Paris.
Using her heart as a compass, Edie sets off on a journey that takes her across Europe, following a trail that promises to unlock the mystery and lead her to Joe.
As tensions rise and temperatures soar, Edie draws closer to the truth - but unravelling the past comes at a cost.
When the heatwave finally breaks, will it take Edie down with it?
Epic love and long-kept secrets collide in this evocative and enthralling historical fiction novel, set against the backdrop of the era-defining 1976 European heatwave, from international bestseller Mandy Robotham - perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Victoria Hislop and Lucinda Riley.

Mandy Robotham started her working life as a journalist, became waylaid for two decades by birth and babies, and then returned full circle to her childhood love of books with the publication of her first book in 2018. Since then, she has written eight novels of historical fiction, a faux memoir and a spy caper, all set in worlds without too much technology or mobile phones. Anyone who reads Mandy's books knows she loves coffee, old cafes, The Beatles, Mary Quant, Jane Austen, typewriters and all things retro.
