A remote island. A locked-room murder. A family full of secrets.
Twelve years ago, Jen Landale and her boyfriend were found dead, on a tiny island off the Cornish coast. The verdict: murder-suicide. But Jen's dying father has never believed it.
Now he's offering journalist Otis Letbeth a huge cash reward to uncover the truth.
Someone's hellbent on keeping what happened that night buried for ever.
But that won't stop Otis. He needs that money. Now. Because he has a dark secret of his own. And the only card he has left to play... is betting on the dead.
A twisty, addictive crime thriller perfect for fans of Bella Mackie, Lucy Foley, Benjamin Stevenson and Riley Sager.
