A storm. A disappearance. A race against time...
Mustique is in a state of breathless calm as tropical storm Cristobal edges towards it across the Atlantic. Most villa owners have escaped the island but a few young socialites remain, unwilling to let summer's partying end. American heiress Amanda Fortini is one such thrill-seeker
- until she heads out for a morning swim & doesn't return.
Detective Sergeant Solomon Nile is just 28 years old & the island's only fully trained police officer. He quickly realises he needs to contact Lord & Lady Blake, who bought the island decades ago & have invested time, money & love creating a paradise. Jasper is in St Lucia designing a new village of luxury villas but Lady Veronica (Vee to her friends) catches a plane immediately. Her beloved god-daughter, Lily, is on the island & this disappearance has alarming echoes of what happened to Lily's mother many years ago. Lady Vee would never desert a friend in need, & she can keep a cool head in a crisis.
When Amanda's body is found, a murder investigation begins. Nile knows the killer must be an islander because flights & ferry crossings have stopped due to the storm warning, but the local community isn't co-operating. & then the storm hits, & someone else disappears...
