The White Lotus meets The Last Thing He Told Me in this domestic mystery about a luxury sailboat found floating adrift in the ocean and the secrets of the missing family who set sail aboard it weeks before...
"No One Aboard is a riveting, astonishing debut, and Emy McGuire is an important new voice in fiction. I will read anything she writes!"
—Sarah Pekkanen, #1 New York Times bestselling author
At the start of summer, billionaire couple Francis and Lila Cameron set off on their private luxury sailboat to celebrate the high school graduation of their two beloved children.
Three weeks later, the Camerons have not been heard from, the captain hasn’t responded to radio calls, and the sailboat is found floating off the coast of Florida.
Empty.
Where are the Camerons? What happened on their trip? And what secrets does the beautiful boat hold?
Set over the course of their vacation and in the aftermath of the sailboat’s discovery, No One Aboard asks who is more dangerous to a family: a stormy ocean or each other?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A filthy-rich family suffers a seafaring disaster in this gnarly tale from newcomer McGuire. Two weeks after the Cameron clan casts off from New Haven aboard their multimillion-dollar yacht for a voyage down the East Coast to celebrate twins Rylan and Tia's 18th birthday, the vessel is discovered 80 miles off the coast of Florida with no one on board. Authorities, alerted to the ghost ship by Jerry Baugh, a middle-aged fisherman who has never recovered from his own family's nautical tragedy years earlier, scramble to locate the four Camerons and their three-person crew. As the quest for answers presses on, McGuire weaves in flashbacks to the ill-fated voyage, which is tempestuous from the outset courtesy of secrets, lies, and betrayals among the passengers. Despite a couple of whopping contrivances, including a link between the missing Cameron patriarch and the man who finds his yacht, McGuire's consistently riveting plot keeps the pages flying. Readers won't be able to rest until they discover what befell the Camerons.
