A high-tech business park on the Mediterranean is the setting for a most disturbing crime in this reissue featuring an introduction by Ali Smith.
People are so immersed in their work they wouldn't notice the end of the world.
A high-tech business park lies hidden in the hills above Cannes - an ultra-modern utopia where residents live a life of luxury and seclusion.
But when Jane Sinclair arrives in Eden-Olympia for a new medical post, a disturbing mystery awaits. What caused her apparently sane predecessor to murder ten people in a shooting spree that made headlines around the world? As her husband Paul explores his new surroundings, he begins to uncover a thriving subculture of crime that is spiralling out of control.
Both novel of ideas and complex thriller, Super-Cannes is an extraordinary satire from the author of 'Empire of the Sun', 'The Drowned World' and 'Crash'.
