A remote island off the North Devon coast, Liars Island is home to few inhabitants. The rugged coastline has a history of smuggling and shipwreck, but there has never been a murder - until now.
When the body of Kieran Deveney is found on Liars Island, it sends shockwaves through the tiny, close-knit population. The rugged coastline has a history of smuggling and shipwreck, but there has never been a murder - until now.

As a storm closes in, and with the identity of the murderer still in doubt, no one can leave the island. But it's not the treacherous weather that Ally fears, it's the people she's trapped with...
