Venom
You will not see the ending coming! This twisty thriller was Colin’s first published novel and remains as popular as ever.
Saigon, 1946: Michel Christian is born in a pauper’s hospital during a tropical storm. At five years old, he is thrown out on the dangerous streets to survive as best he can. He is bui doi – the dust of life – and he cares for nothing and no one. But he remembers every beating and every betrayal and declares vengeance on those who abandoned him.
On the other side of the world, Valentine is the privileged daughter of a retired diplomat. But there are secrets in her past that cannot stay buried. Secrets that put her life on a collision course with Michel’s.
Brilliant, charming and dangerous, Michel has become a chameleon, invisible and seemingly untouchable. But when Valentine falls under his spell, the past and present quickly unravel to reveal the terrible truth.
