a novel

Eliza Reid

Rate this:
A remote Icelandic island. A diplomatic dinner party. A murderer in their midst. When Kavita Banerjee, the deputy ambassador of Canada, dies suddenly at a dinner party attended by the great and the good from Icelandic business and politics, suspicion falls on everyone present, but particularly on the victim's boss, Graeme Shearer, the Canadian ambassador. Jane Shearer, Graeme's long-suffering wife, is accustomed to cleaning up his messes. But now, saving her husband's career--and her crumbling marriage--requires her to investigate her fellow dinner guests. Uncovering corruption and murder is a dangerous job, but Jane knows better than most what desperate people will do to protect their secrets.
