Ein spätes Frühstück, ein Sprung ins türkisblaue Meer, eine Siesta am Mittag, Partys in der Nacht: Auf der griechischen Trauminsel Nissos will der Athener Kriminalkommissar Christophoros Markou gefühlte zwölf Monate Schlafmangel nachholen, verstörende Fälle und eine gescheiterte Liebesaffäre hinter sich lassen. Markous Sommertraum endet jäh, als auf einer Party die Leiche einer englischen Journalistin entdeckt wird. Noch dazu zieht ein Sturm auf, kein Helikopter kann auf der Insel landen, kein Schiff anlegen. Markou weiß: Auch der Mörder kann die Insel nicht verlassen. Und als Täter kommen nur die fünfzehn Partygäste infrage: wohlhabende Jetsetter aus aller Welt. Viele von ihnen hatten ein Interesse daran, Lucy Davis aus dem Weg zu räumen. Denn sie schrieb gerade an einem Enthüllungsroman, in dem es um sie alle ging - und ihre dunkelsten Geheimnisse. Wobei auf einer kleinen Insel ein Geheimnis nie lange ein Geheimnis bleibt.
