Milly, Aubrey, and Jonah Story are cousins, but they barely know each another, and they've never even met their grandmother. Rich and reclusive, she disinherited their parents before they were born. So when they each receive a letter inviting them to work at her island resort for the summer, they're surprised… and curious. Their parents are all clear on one point - not going is not an option. This could be the opportunity to get back into Grandmother's good graces. But when the cousins arrive on the island, it's immediately clear that she has different plans for them. And the longer they stay, the more they realize how mysterious - and dark - their family's past is. The entire Story family has secrets. Whatever pulled them apart years ago isn't over - and this summer, the cousins will learn everything. Перед вами новый захватывающий детектив от королевы жанра yong adult Карен М. Макманус. Милли, Обри и Джона Стори — кузены, но они не знают друг друга и никогда не встречали свою бабушку. Богатая и замкнутая, она оборвала общение со своими детьми больше двадцати лет назад, еще до рождения внуков. Когда кузены получают письма с приглашением поработать летом на ее островном курорте, они удивляются. Их родители хотят вернуть благосклонность бабушки и настаивают на поездке. Но когда кузены прибывают на остров, становится ясно, что бабушка их не ждала. И чем дольше они остаются, тем больше осознают, насколько загадочно и темно прошлое их семьи. Что бы ни разлучило их родителей много лет назад, этим летом кузены все узнают. В книге представлен оригинальный текст на английском языке.
