A suspenseful and Ripleyesque debut about a private tutor who discovers the dark world behind Russian wealth
Sarah Thomas worked for years as a private tutor to the super-rich. She lives in London and this is her first novel.
'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
'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
'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
