Don't miss the latest gripping thriller from INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER Rebecca Heath!
Its been eighteen years since the accidental explosion that killed The Cedrics Band lead singer Jonny Rake, and a special documentary is bringing the rest of the band back to play together for the first time. With Jonnys daughter, Monet, stepping into her fathers role, and a private island secured as the perfect reunion backdrop, its set to be a special occasion.
But everyone remembers what happened on that fatal night differently, and as questions are asked about the bands rise and sudden tragic fall, not everyone likes the answers. Old wounds reopen and tempers flare Then a body is found.
Theyre trapped on the island together until help arrives, but that might be too late. Because Jonnys death wasnt an accident, and someone wants revenge.
