If something appears to be too good to be true, it usually is. ‘I’ve read 17 books so far this year and this is hands down my favourite f****ng read. Oh my god.” – Early reviewer. When an invitation to The Emerald Resort lands on the floor of five unsuspecting competition winners, they can all barely believe their luck. Five different people. Five different backgrounds. Five people needing escape. Maisie Watson, a university student. Jack Paterson, an ex-Marine with PTSD, Graham Anderson, a council worker with a deadly secret, Esme Duncan, a gold digging maneater and Ailsa Clark, a young schoolteacher. The only details – they’re catching a private flight to the Isle of Harris, with its golden sands and idyllic landscape, they’re going to have the time of their lives. When the group of five are thrown into a despicable realm of torture at the hands of The Stranger, what will it take to survive when they’re tested beyond anything they’ve ever experienced before.
