''An addictive read that will remain with you long after you emerge from the rabbit hole'' - THE TIMES''A marvellously twisty whodunnit [with] the brutal, clockwork ingenuity of an Agatha Christie mystery'' - FT ''A pacy, exciting and most unusual crime story'' - GUARDIAN________________________________________SHARING A BODY CAN BE MURDER 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. 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. 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... This brilliant murder mystery blends classic crime with speculative fiction in a stunning debut.______________________________________ ''This clever, twisty debut really delivers.
