Titles in This Set:
The Pact
The Split

Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback

Overview:
Two taut, page‑turning crime thrillers from Sharon Bolton come together in this BRAND NEW paperback collection. The Pact unfolds on a sun‑drenched summer when six talented friends chase the brightest of futures, only for a daredevil game to end in tragedy—killing a woman and two children. Eighteen‑year‑old Megan takes the fall, leaving the others free to carry on with their lives. In return, each friend pledges to repay a “favour” upon Megan’s release from prison, binding the group with secrets that slowly corrode trust. The Split moves the action to South Georgia, one of the world’s most remote islands, where Felicity Lloyd has fled her past and the man she once loved. Freddie Lloyd has served time for murder and will stop at nothing to bring her to heel, wherever she hides. Will the pursuit stretch across oceans and time, or is there a deeper danger closer to home? Bolton delivers lean prose, chilling atmosphere, and moral complexity that will keep you turning pages late into the night.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This two‑book collection showcases Sharon Bolton’s distinctive blend of intimate, character‑driven drama and high‑stakes suspense. The Pact roots its tension in the fragile loyalties of a long‑standing friendship circle, where a single, reckless moment ripples across years and guilt gnaws at every quiet moment. The Split renders a stark, windswept chase across a remote island landscape, turning fear into a tangible, bone‑cold force. Read in sequence, these novels create a double hit of mood and momentum: claustrophobic within the social circle, and epic in scope as danger travels from urban peace to wild, isolated frontiers. The set is a superb gift for fans of psychological thrillers, domestic noir, and crime fiction that rewards attentive rereads and discussion, with cover art and tone that pair perfectly on display shelves or BookTok feeds.

Books Included in This Collection:
The Pact
This suspenseful thriller opens a story of friendship under pressure. A flawless summer becomes a maze of loyalties when a deadly accident leaves one young woman blamed and the others bound by a series of secret favors. Bolton builds a tense atmosphere where the past refuses to stay buried and every recollection feels like a potential ruse. The novel probes how far people will go to protect each other—and what happens when protection becomes a burden that lasts a lifetime.

The Split
A chase unfolds across continents and ice‑rimmed horizons as Felicity Lloyd hides from a man who will not give up. Freed from prison, Freddie Lloyd pursues a line of revenge that seems to stretch to the far corners of the earth. South Georgia’s remoteness intensifies the fear and danger, turning survival into a puzzle with deadly consequences. Bolton weaves a precise, breath‑holding narrative where every step forward raises new questions about truth, memory, and the price of running from the past.
