Thirteen months ago, former NYPD detective Shana Merchant barely survived being abducted by a serial killer. Now hoping to leave grisly murder cases behind, she's taken a job in her fiancé's sleepy hometown in the Thousand Islands region of Upstate New York. But as a nor'easter bears down on her new territory, Shana and fellow investigator Tim Wellington receive a call about a man missing on a private island. Shana and Tim travel to the isolated island owned by the wealthy Sinclair family to question the witnesses. They arrive to find blood on the scene and a house full of Sinclair family and friends on edge. While Tim guesses they're dealing with a runaway case, Shana is convinced that they have a murder on their hands. As the gale intensifies outside, she starts conducting interviews and discovers the Sinclairs and their guests are crawling with dark and dangerous secrets. Trapped on the island by the raging storm with only Tim whose reliability is thrown into question, the increasingly restless suspects, and her own trauma-fueled flashbacks for company, Shana will have to trust the one person her abduction destroyed her faith in--herself. But time is ticking down, because if Shana's right, a killer is in their midst and as the pressure mounts, so do the odds that they'll strike again.

Book excerpt: When beautiful young socialite Scarlett Liddell apparently commits suicide during a 'Murder Mystery Weekend', expensively staged at a Lakeland castle, the coroner calls in DI Skelgill and his team to tie up the legal loose ends. Post mortem results, however, cast doubt upon the provisional verdict - and circumstantial evidence begins to point to one obvious suspect - Will Liddell, the woman's multi-millionaire entrepreneur husband. When Will Liddell is separately accused of an unrelated offence, it seems the noose is tightening around his neck - but the more Skelgill delves beneath the surface of the exclusive circle in which the wealthy couple have moved, the more he realises there may be complex motives afoot. In this psychological drama - set amidst an echelon of society beyond his regular comfort zone - Skelgill cannot so easily rely upon his roughhewn intuition to guide him. To expose the truth, he must unpick a tangle that might almost be the plot for a murder mystery weekend itself.
