Synopsis
After years touring the world's war zones as a war photographer, Kieran Park is home to stay. Suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder he struggles with memories of conflict and of the most horrific childhood. His most haunting memory is the death of his elder sister Rachel in a car accident. Only Lisa, his twin sister, seems willing or able to understand him - but she has some unwelcome news. In a field opposite their former childhood home, a property developer has started to build a range of exclusive houses. A secret that the twins hoped would stay buried is about to be unearthed. The shattered remains of their father lie in a shallow grave, a place where his violent life met an equally violent end. Certain that evidence of his murder will lead back to them, the siblings decide to return and move the body to a safer location. Sleeping with Rachel is the story of a young war photographer's struggle with death, family and his search for redemption.
Amazon Top Reviewer
This is an extremely well written story which contains several plot lines at the same time. Kieran and his sister, Lisa, witnessed as children, their father cause an accident that killed their other sibling Rachel. Both are living with enormous amounts of guilt; Kieran in a bad marriage and Lisa single and alone, except for her brother. They have killed the father at some point in the past, and a housing development is about to be built where they buried the body. And, if that weren't enough, Kieran is in a bad marriage and wants out, while there is an air of sexual tension between himself and his sister. While reading this excerpt I was drawn in, and was amazed I had finished the excerpt long before I was ready to leave it. I believe this has the potential to be a book that cannot be put down at night.

Check it out at the above link. The first chapter is free to download and since this is a competition, I would appreciate a great review! A couple of lines is ok, plus five juicy stars...
