About the book
Carol Goodman, a two-time winner of the Mary Higgins Clark Award, presents a new mystery revolving around a group of friends stranded on a distant island with a troubling past of criminal activities.
Despite still grappling with the emotional scars and health repercussions of the devastating 2020 pandemic, Lucy Harper and her husband, Reed, opt to seek safety on his family’s secluded island located just off the coast of Maine after a new virus emerges years later. Surrounded by their closest friends and relatives, Lucy should feel secure in their isolated haven. Yet, she cannot shake off the oppressive weight of the island's sinister past that seems to loom over the group.
As Lucy delves deeper into Reed's family secrets and the island's dark history as a quarantine facility for typhus patients, she becomes consumed by the past, and her grasp on reality begins to slip. Tensions rise, mysterious symbols crop up in the forest, and accidents turn deadly. Is the island haunted by restless spirits? Or is someone in their midst seeking retribution?
