Description
Succession meets And Then There Were None. A breakout standalone thriller from a bestselling author, about a killer who picks off wealthy family members in a bid to inherit a billion-dollar estate.
Every family has a secret. The Pallanders have it all - a castle in the Scottish Highlands and an island in the Caribbean - but their perfect life is about to be shattered.
Every father has a favourite. Sebastian Pallander dies, leaving a pitiful amount of money for his relatives to fight over. Then his son is killed in mysterious circumstances, and everyone suspects foul play.
Every killer has a motive. The family gather at their estate and begin to wonder - who will be next? Where has all their money gone? And will anyone get what they truly deserve?
