When a medical procedure goes horribly wrong and famous actor Ralph Meier winds up dead, Dr. Marc Schlosser knows that he needs to protect his reputation as a high profile doctor to the stars. Looking back to the previous summer, Schlosser recounts how he took his wife and their two beautiful teenage daughters to spend a week at Meier's summer home on the Mediterranean. Joined not only by Meier and his striking wife Judith but also film director Stanley Forbes and his much younger girlfriend, the group settles in for days of sunshine. In this novel by the author of The Dinner, however, a violent incident disrupts the idyll, and suddenly no one can be trusted.

"Highly entertaining…. Balmy temperatures and sunny skies won't stop the chill that runs up and down your spine as the story unfolds…. A modern-day Agatha Christie."—Chicago Tribune
