Seventeen-year-old Leo’s summer at a coastal campsite turns nightmarish when he witnesses a friend’s fatal accident on an empty playground swing. Haunted by guilt, he drags the body to the beach and buries it in secret under the merciless heat.

As the sun rises, the routines of teenage life—parties, flirting, and games—play out around him with an eerie normality. Leo’s intense longing for Luce collides with his fear of being discovered, creating a tense psychological landscape where every moment feels charged.

Originally published in France, Heatwave is a stark exploration of adolescent desire, recklessness, and the heavy weight of secrets. This debut novel offers a chilling glimpse into how a single, irreversible choice can consume a young mind.

  • Atmospheric summer camp setting
