Some secrets are meant to stay buried. Even if killing is the only way to keep them.
When Grace uncovers a hidden diary tied to a thirty-year-old disappearance, she exposes the truth her new island home has fought to conceal: no one vanished. Someone was murdered.
Beneath the warm smiles and close-knit charm lies a pact of silence. The killer never left—and is still being protected. As Grace starts asking questions, she becomes a threat. Anyone she trusts could be involved, and every answer pulls her deeper into danger.
On an island where loyalty outweighs justice and outsiders learn to keep quiet, Grace must make an impossible choice: allow a murderer to remain free—or risk becoming the next victim.
A twist-filled mystery thriller for fans of Ruth Ware and Karen McManus, with a chilling ending you won’t see coming.
