Susan has left publishing and is living in Crete with her long-time boyfriend, Andreas.

But her idyll is disturbed by the shadow of a murder committed at a British country hotel eight years ago. Alan Conway visited the hotel and wrote a novel based on what happened there. Cecily Treherne, the young woman who helps run the hotel, read the book and believed the wrong man had been arrested. Now she has disappeared.

Once again, Susan is plunged into the glamorous world of Atticus Pünd as she decodes a tangled web of lies, rage and jealousy.

Can Susan uncover the secret hidden in the book and find Cecily before it is too late?
