But one thing is true- there's nothing deadlier than a family with everything to lose . . . \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe world was shocked by playwright Sarah Lingate's death thirty years ago at an opulent,\u003cbr\u003ewhite-washed villa on the island of Capri. Absolved of the crime, the Lingate family maintains that what happened that night was a tragic accident. And every July they return to Capri to prove it's true.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis time, Helen Lingate - sole heir to the family fortune - has a plan. Tightly controlled by her father, she enlists the help of the family assistant, Lorna Moreno, to free herself from her family's stranglehold on her life. And yet, behind closed doors, the legendary Lingate family unity is at breaking point. Upon arrival at the villa in Capri, an anonymous gift awaits them- the necklace Sarah was wearing the night she died.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the aftermath, the paranoid, insular Lingates begin to unravel. As the investigation into her mother's death is reopened, Helen begins to lose trust in everyone around her- her controlling father Richard, drug-addled aunt Naomi, aloof uncle Marcus, and even Lorna, whose past she realizes is frustratingly opaque. And as the family fractures, the long-hidden truth about that night and the secrets they've kept from one another boil to the surface - and they might not leave the island alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Sultry and sophisticated with a menacing undercurrent that keeps you thrillingly unsettled until its final spellbinding twist. Let the languid glamour of Capri gently take you by one hand, an ice cold Negroni in the other, but watch your step - the cliffs are treacherous and so, too, is a family with everything to lose.'\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRACHEL KOLLER CROFT, author of \u003ci\u003eStone Cold Fox\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Engrossing and sinister . . . a must-read for 2025.'\u003c\/b\u003e JULIE CLARK, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Last Flight\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47792399024286,"sku":"UBD-9780857505989","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780857505989.jpg?v=1780915405","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780857505989","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
