On a secluded, sun-drenched private Greek island, former movie star Lana Farrar extends an exclusive invitation to a select group, including her old friend and the enigmatic narrator, Elliot Chase. What begins as a luxurious escape among friends soon devolves into a sinister game of cat and mouse when a murderer, furiously plotting their crime, strikes. With seven people trapped, one of whom is the killer, the island becomes a pressure cooker of hidden truths and mounting suspicion. Elliot Chase, the self-proclaimed king of unreliable narrators, promises a story unlike any other, challenging readers to unravel the layers of deception and figure out who is behind the fury. Nothing on this idyllic island, from its glamorous hostess to its secretive guests, is quite what it seems, making the quest for truth a treacherous journey.
