　　我用這件事來開場，是覺得當年你應該曾在各大報紙上都看到了這則新聞。畢竟這件事聚集了所有會轟動大街小巷的要素：名人、與世隔絕的小島、還有謀殺案。當年，我們一群人被迫在島上過夜。夜色使得多年友情間的愛恨情仇逐漸發酵，一場貓捉老鼠的鬥智遊戲展開。那個夜晚，事情發展高潮迭起，最終以暴力和死亡畫上句點，我們其中一個人慘遭謀殺。我叫Elliot Chase，接下來，我要說個令人瞠目結舌的故事…(文／博客來外文館)

　　A masterfully paced thriller about a reclusive ex–movie star and her famous friends whose spontaneous trip to a private Greek island is upended by a murder — from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient

　　This is a tale of murder.

　　Or maybe that’s not quite true. At its heart, it’s a love story, isn’t it?

　　Lana Farrar is a reclusive ex–movie star and one of the most famous women in the world. Every year, she invites her closest friends to escape the English weather and spend Easter on her idyllic private Greek island.

　　I tell you this because you may think you know this story. You probably read about it at the time ― it caused a real stir in the tabloids, if you remember. It had all the necessary ingredients for a press sensation: a celebrity; a private island cut off by the wind…and a murder.

　　We found ourselves trapped there overnight. Our old friendships concealed hatred and a desire for revenge. What followed was a game of cat and mouse ― a battle of wits, full of twists and turns, building to an unforgettable climax. The night ended in violence and death, as one of us was found murdered.

　　But who am I?

　　My name is Elliot Chase, and I’m going to tell you a story unlike any you’ve ever heard.
