Boundary

Published: Bedford Square Publishers, United Kingdom, 2017
A chilling thriller as compulsive as Emma Cline's The Girls
It's the Summer of 1967. The sun shines brightly over Boundary pond, a holiday haven on the USCanadian border. Families relax in the heat, happy and carefree. Hours tick away to the sound of radios playing 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' and 'A Whiter Shade of Pale'. Children run along the beach as the heady smell of barbecues fills the air. Zaza Mulligan and Sissy Morgan, with their long, tanned legs and silky hair, relish their growing reputation as the red and blond Lolitas. Life seems idyllic.
But then Zaza disappears, and the skies begin to cloud over...
'The writing is fiery and inspired. The pace is breathless yet punctuated with familiar scenes of daily life that could be our own' - Danielle Laurin, Le Devoir
'Andre A. Michaud has an undeniable talent for penning riveting and effective thrillers, a talent that imbues the very essence of her main character' - Valrie Lessard, Le Droit
- Winner of the prestigious 2014 Canadian Governor General's Literary Award for Fiction
- Winner of the 2014 Prix Saint-Pacme du roman policier and the Arthur Ellis Award (Best Book in French)
- An atmospheric, tense mystery novel for fans of The Girls and Broadchurch
