A Greek island holiday. A deadly village secret. A best friend you can no longer trust.

When Daphne travels to a remote fishing village on the Greek island of Crete, she’s looking forward to sun-drenched days, dazzling sea views, and a happy reunion with the best friend she has idolised since university. But from the moment she arrives at the whitewashed taverna perched on the cliffs above the sea, something feels wrong. Roxy is jittery and evasive, the locals avoid questions, and rumours of a cliffside murder have everyone on edge.

Then there's an attack in the night. Daphne is left reeling and desperate for answers. She turns to her best friend for help—but all she's met with is gaslighting and lies that make her question her own sanity. Completely isolated and unsure who to trust, she now finds herself trapped in a lethal game of deception—and caught in a dangerous attraction to a stranger with secrets of his own. As Daphne digs deeper, she realises that someone in this idyllic village has a deadly secret… and that her closest friendship might be the most dangerous thing of all.
