Even paradise has shadows.
July 2025. Tash and Mark host a birthday weekend for their son, Dom, at their luxury villa on a Greek island, inviting a select list of people to celebrate. As the drinks flow, the unthinkable happens when Tash’s sister drowns, vanishing without a trace.
No one suspects foul play – except for Tash.
July 2026. One year on, Tash hosts a party for the same guests who were there when Emma died. She's learned that they're all hiding something - even Dom's behaviour has changed since that night. She knows that answers lie on the island and no one is leaving until she gets the truth.
But if the villa holds the secrets to what happened, it also hides a killer...

"A powerful family. A luxury cruise. A dark secret.
The Scarmados are the most famous family in Britain, notorious for throwing lavish parties funded by their media and shipping empire. Now, head of the family Mattia is about to retire, and he's taken his four children and his new young wife Belle on the maiden voyage of one of his luxury cruise ships. The tabloids are buzzing: is he about to announce his successor?
Belle has insisted her best friend Emily joins the party. She needs an ally against her feuding stepchildren. But from the moment they arrive on the ship, sinister things start to happen. Mattia's eldest son disappears. His second son falls ill. His daughter's business is sabotaged. And, looming over it all, is the question that makes Emily fear desperately for Belle. What really happened to Mattia's first wife three years ago?"
