Publisher's Summary

One private island. Seven guests. One killer....

The perfect holiday. The perfect murder. The perfect beach story.

Get away from your problems.

Multimillionaire Robert Rathwell and his entourage arrive at their private Greek island. White sand, turquoise water, the perfect place to relax. But this is no ordinary family, and this holiday will be their last.

Get away from your life.

The next morning, a scream shatters their peaceful world. Someone has been murdered, his body arranged to make it look like suicide. Everyone has a motive, and, under the burning sun, secrets quickly simmer to the surface.

Get away with murder.

Soon the guests see a darker, more violent side to paradise. Because the Rathwells don’t just own the island; they own the people on it. And they can do whatever they like—maybe even commit murder....
