Description
The gripping new thriller from the Sunday Times bestseller!
‘I adored this twisty thriller… Thoroughly entertaining – I’d love to see this on our TV screens!’ PRIMA Book of the Month
The perfect escape, or the perfect trap?
When a select group of influencers and journalists receive an exclusive invitation to a luxury resort in the Maldives, it seems like the ultimate press trip.
But when the island is cut off during a storm and people start dying, it looks like someone has murder in mind.
Are the guests really who they seem to be, or does each one of them have a secret to hide? Something they would kill for?
Lose yourself in the latest twisty page-turner from the queen of glamorous crime, Catherine Cooper.
