'Bolton's dazzling plot recalls Christie at her most inventive' - Sunday Times
The billionaire's will promised them everything. But the money comes with a deadly price . . .
Seven strangers receive a mysterious note that billionaire Logan Quick is leaving them his vast fortune. All they need to do is accept the enclosed Token and wait for his death. None of them know why they've been chosen, but all seven desperately need the money and the chance of a fresh start.
When the group are forced to embark on a dangerous sea crossing, they discover they are connected by a dark secret from their past. As confusion turns to fear and trust to betrayal, the question is no longer who will claim the money - it's who will make it off the boat alive . . .

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Choppy waters lie ahead for the seven strangers who are drawn together in the latest compellingly twisty tale from Buckinghamshire-based thriller pro Sharon Bolton. They are each given a token that apparently entitles them to a serious slice of the fortune of billionaire Logan Quick, one of Britain’s richest men. They’re also all invited onto a creepy cruise where the buffet running out of food is the least of their worries. What links the seven chosen ones? How will they behave under duress? And will they ever get home and dry? There’s only one way to find out...
Customer Reviews
Intriguing at first
The suspenseful start of this book doesn’t manage to sustain the middle of the story. All the elements were there but suddenly things change like a driver on a fast road taking an unexpected detour. And eventually I got lost.
If towards the end some clues get picked the lasting feeling of lost direction stay with reader.
