'A fast-paced mystery about friendships, secrets and fears with a twist in the tail that fooled me completely' CHRIS EWAN
Six friends have been trapped by one dark secret.
It was supposed to be our last weekend away as friends, before marriage and respectability beckoned. But what happened that Saturday changed everything.
In the middle of the night, someone died. The six of us promised each other we would not tell anyone about the body we buried. But now the pact has been broken. And the killing has started again …
Who knows what we did? And what price will they make us pay?
Don't miss the brilliant new novel from the author of the highly acclaimed The Bone Keeper.

Customer Reviews
The Six
This was very different from the previous Luca Veste books I have read which were police crime stories.
It was narrated in the first person by one of the Six. Some sections were set in the past, helping us see how the group got together and understand their bond.
I really like the author’s writing style, apart from the handful of grammatical errors and typos, and this helped me through some of the repetitive passages.
There were some surprises in the plot and a definite build up of tension as the story progressed.
Why not 5*?
First, I thought that, in the chapters set in the past, there were far too many cultural references, mainly musical ones, which meant nothing to me. If you’re in your thirties you’d probably appreciate the memories.
The second and main reason was that the ending was a bit too melodramatic for me. I might have appreciated it more if I was watching the story as a tv drama or film.
A pretty good and entertaining story though and I would recommend it.
Griping
This book ensnares from the start & doesn’t let go until the very end. A superb thriller that kept me theorising & guessing throughout.
The Six
Another amazing book by Luca Veste that I couldn’t put down.
