The Contest Summary

The Contest: The exhilarating and addictive new thriller from the bestselling author of THE PERFECT GIRLFRIEND by Karen Hamilton

THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME. A PRIZE WORTH KILLING FOR.

We call it the Great Escape. The annual trip where my boss asks us expert travel guides to escort a group of privileged, uber-wealthy clientele on some far-flung expedition, a cut-throat contest for riches and glory.

The stakes have never been higher, nor the challenge harder: I must summit Mount Kilimanjaro before my rival guide to win the ultimate prize.

But this once-in-a-lifetime trip was never about winning to me. I'm here for answers, even if no one is ready to give them up. By the time we reach the top I will have the truth, if it kills me.

THE QUESTION IS, HOW FAR WILL THEY GO TO KEEP ME QUIET?

Karen Hamilton moves from sly comedy to tragedy with unsettling ease * Sunday Times *
Exhilarating and addictive * Prima *
More twists and turns than a Kilimanjaro path, The Contest is the ultimate book for this summer. Secrets and lies, deception and double crossing, you wouldn't want these characters to buy you a drink, let alone join you for a climb up a mountain. * Sam Holland, author of The Echo Man *
A book of inescapable rivalry, deceit, and family drama. Karen delivers a tightly plotted and fantastically researched thriller about climbing the heights of Kilimanjaro, upping the tension the higher the climb. I raced through it. * LV Matthews, author of The Twins *
This brilliant thriller made me feel like I was taking every step up Mt Kilimanjaro. It's a fabulous read, exploring what lengths we are prepared to go to succeed. * Nikki Smith, author of The Beach Party *
Karen Hamilton takes suspense to new heights in this nailbiting thriller that had me hooked from the start. An original voice, characters to love and hate, and a strong sense of place, make this an engrossing read. * Lisa Ballantyne, author of The Innocent One *
I devoured The Contest. Terrifyingly claustrophobic. This is the must read book of the summer! * Steph Broadribb, author of Death in the Sunshine *
I loved The Contest. A totally addictive thriller that I couldn't put down. The perfect summer read. * Jo Jakeman, author of What His Wife Knew *
On a race to the top of Kilimanjaro, everyone has a motive to win and some have motive to kill in Karen Hamilton's latest gripping thriller. Each rise in elevation will have you turning pages faster than you can catch your breath. I'm still recovering from the altitude. * Olivia Kiernan, author of The End of Us *
