On the glittering island of Capri, anything can be a mirage. But one thing is true: there's nothing deadlier than a family with everything to lose ... 

The world was shocked by playwright Sarah Lingate's death thirty years ago at an opulent, white-washed villa on the island of Capri that left behind her two year old daughter. Absolved of the crime, the Lingate family maintains that what happened that night was a tragic accident - and every July they return to Capri to prove it is true.

This time, Helen Lingate - sole heir to the family fortune - has a plan. Tightly controlled by her father, she enlists the help of the family assistant, Lorna Moreno, to free herself from her family’s stranglehold on her life.

But upon arrival at the villa in Capri, an anonymous gift awaits them: the necklace Sarah was wearing the night she died. In the aftermath, the paranoid, insular and legendary Lingates begin to unravel.

As the investigation into her mother’s death is reopened, Helen begins to lose trust in everyone around her. And as the family fractures, the long-hidden truth about that night and the secrets they’ve kept from one another boil to the surface - and they might not leave the island alive. 

An electrifying thriller about an affluent family whose annual retreat to Italy is shattered when a decades-old murder resurfaces -- from the bestselling author of The Cloisters.
