Don't miss the latest gripping thriller from INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Rebecca Heath!

Pitch perfect! Jo Furniss, author of All the Little Children

A REMOTE ISLAND

It’s been eighteen years since the accidental explosion that killed The Cedrics Band lead singer, Jonny Rake, and a special documentary is bringing the rest of the band back to play together for the first time. With Jonny’s daughter, Monet, stepping into her father’s role, and a private island secured as the perfect reunion backdrop, it’s set to be a special occasion.

A REUNION CONCERT

But everyone remembers what happened on that fatal night differently, and as questions are asked about the band’s rise and sudden tragic fall, not everyone likes the answers. Old wounds reopen and tempers flare… Then a body is found.

A KILLER ON STAGE

They’re trapped on the island together until help arrives, but that might be too late. Because Jonny’s death wasn’t an accident, and someone wants revenge.
