Sometimes the most beautiful locations hide the deadliest betrayal. When Daphne travels to a remote fishing village on the Greek island of Crete, she’s looking forward to sunshine, sea views, and a happy reunion with her best friend. But from the moment she arrives at her friend’s new taverna, something feels wrong. Roxy is jittery and evasive, the locals avoid questions, and rumours of a cliffside murder have everyone on edge. After a terrifying night-time attack that leaves her shaken and desperate for answers, Daphne turns to her best friend for help. Instead, she’s met with gaslighting and lies that make her question her own sanity. Isolated and unsure who to trust, she becomes trapped in a lethal game of deception—and drawn to a mysterious stranger with secrets of his own. As Daphne digs deeper, she realises someone in this idyllic village is hiding a deadly secret… and her closest friendship may be the most dangerous thing of all.
