**AN INSTANT _NEW YORK TIMES_ BESTSELLER!**

From the _New York Times_ bestselling author of _The Sanatorium_, a Reese's Book Club pick, here, Detective Elin Warner uncovers the truth behind the suspicious deaths on a stunning island getaway.

"Devilish and deliciously twisty."  
_**\--**People_

"The suspense inexorably builds to a stunning climax."  
**\--David Baldacci, #1 _New York Times_ bestselling author of _Long Shadows_****

**They couldn't wait to stay here.**

An idyllic wellness retreat has opened on an island off the English coast, promising rest and relaxation--but the island itself, known locally as Reaper's Rock, has a dark past. Once the playground of a serial killer, it's rumored to be cursed.  
  
**But now they can't leave.**

A young woman is found dead below the yoga pavilion in what seems to be a tragic fall. But Detective Elin Warner soon learns the victim wasn't a guest--she wasn't meant to be on the island at all.

**And they would do anything to escape.**

The longer Elin stays, the more secrets she uncovers. And when someone else drowns in a diving incident, Elin begins to suspect that there's nothing accidental about these deaths. But why would someone target the guests at this luxury resort? Elin must find the killer--before the island's history starts to repeat itself.

**Most came to recharge and refresh. But someone's here for revenge.**
