*****

'There were seven of us in all, trapped on the island.One of us was a murderer . . .'
On a small private Greek island, former movie star Lana Farrar - an old friend - invites a select group of us to stay.
It'll be hot, sunny, perfect. A chance to relax and reconnect - and maybe for a few hidden truths to come out.
Because nothing on this island is quite what it seems.
Not Lana. Not her guests.
Certainly not the murderer - furiously plotting their crime . . .
But who am I?
My name is Elliot Chase, and I'm going to tell you a story unlike any you've ever heard.
