Formats & Editions

New Year's Eve, Loloma Island, Fiji.

At one of the most exclusive island resorts in the Pacific ocean, the countdown to new year is just beginning. And then a body washes up on the shore . . .

With no explanation and no clues, lives - and, more importantly, reputations - are at risk. That is, until whoever is responsible can be stopped. But everyone here has a motive:

The billionaire's daughter, hungry for her inheritance.

The start-up founder, out of money, and out of time.

The young dive instructor, struggling to stay afloat.

The husband, blinded by misplaced desire.

And the lover, hidden in the shadows.

And when the death toll starts to climb, everyone's at risk, and everyone's looking guilty . . .

Make sure you don't miss the latest scandal. Everyone is obsessed with Ali Lowe...
