The dark and brilliant literary thriller of the summer
Sarah Thomas worked for years as a private tutor to the super-rich. She lives in London and this is her first novel.
'Melanie is an outsider keeping her wits in a world of wealth and
privilege . . . Thomas evokes these complex lives with compelling
insight' - Suzi Feay
'Neither of the two female characters are straightforward; the
relationship between them is well-drawn and they successfully
propel the plot at a rattling pace. Thomas has a flair for telling
a good story with wit and candour' - Daily Mail
'Beautifully crafted and compelling. Thomas perfectly captures the
textures of entitlement and the inner workings of Russian
plutocratic life lived between Moscow and Europe's glamour resorts'
- Caroline Knowles, author of Serious Money
'A wry, unsettling take on privilege, avarice and corruption. This
book pulls back the curtain on the lives of the ultra-rich and
reveals a world fatally distorted by greed and arrogance; it
navigates questions of class and complicity with a rare deftness.'
- Keiran Goddard, author of Hourglass
'Thrilling, revealing and disturbing, Queen K dives deep into the
hidden lives of the mega-rich, the dark structures of privilege and
power, and the lies we tell ourselves to keep the illusion afloat.
Thomas knows her subject inside out and it shows - her dazzling
debut is both a gripping mystery and a relevant treatise on the
dangers of wealth without limits' - Emma Stonex, author of The
Lamplighters
