Summary They were originally five. Elliot. Brian. Tallis. Cameron. And Dylan -- charismatic Dylan -- the mediator, the leader, the man each one turned to in a time of crisis. Five close friends, bonded in college, still coming together for their annual trip to Las Vegas. This year they are four. Four friends, sharing a common loss: Dylan's tragic death. A common loss that, upon their arrival in Vegas, will bring with it a common threat: one that will make them question who their departed friend really was, and whether he is even worthy of their grief. A COMMON LOSS is Kirsten Tranter's follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut, The Legacy. Yet again, Tranter's weave of watertight prose and literary sensibilities shows her to be a born writer with a precocious control of storytelling and style
