Twisty, sharp, menacing. Just when you thought you know who to trust, Mercier yanks the rug out from under you. Crime with both class and grit. CANDICE FOX

A twisty, compulsive destination thriller where no one is as perfect as they seem. There’s nothing more dangerous than someone who remembers who you used to be. At a secluded beachfront mansion on Kangaroo Island, three wealthy couples gather for a weekend of partying and luxury indulgence. But beneath the glitter and excess, deep rivalries and explosive secrets fester between the old friends. When they wake to a shocking murder scene, they are gripped first by fear, then by suspicion. With ferry services suspended due to a storm, the survivors and the killer remain trapped on the island together.
