He prices risk for a living. He never saw this one coming.
At ten past one in the morning, with his wife asleep beside him, Rupert Marsden answers an anonymous ad - the way bored, half-lonely people do. The stranger who writes back knows things about him she has no way of knowing. His silences. The drink he only orders alone. The exact shape of an emptiness he's never confessed to anyone.
He decides it's a game. He decides he's still the one in control.
Both are mistakes.
Rupert has built a career putting a number on catastrophe - the house fires, the flood zones, the slow certainty of the sea taking Cape Cod a foot at a time. He's the analyst other people bring the files that smell wrong. Yet the largest lie of his life has been sleeping on the other side of his bed for five years, and the woman at the other end of that ad has been patient about it for a very long time.
Piña Colada takes the breeziest hit of 1979 and turns it inside out: a slow-burn unraveling of a marriage built on a buried secret, a grief that won't stay in the ground, and the chilling notion that being completely known might be the most dangerous thing that can happen to a person.
Told in three movements that keep rewriting what you thought you'd read, this is literary suspense for people who like their twists earned and their endings honest.
