'A writer of genuine originality' - The Guardian

White Lotus meets Lord of the Flies in a twisty action-packed mystery about what it really means to get away from it all . . .

Erin never wanted to go on a 'digital detox' holiday to a luxury island paradise with her annoying little stepbrother, Leo. But paradise quickly turns into a nightmare when, after a night of spectacular lights in the sky, she and Leo wake up to find every single adult has vanished.

While most of the kids want to run wild in the deserted resort, Erin knows something is wrong. Every screen on the island is locked on a cryptic message: A, B, C, D SPELLS DEAD and a countdown timer ticking away.

The sun blazes unnaturally hot and kids start disappearing, one by one. With the countdown racing towards zero, Erin must find a way off the island before she and Leo are lost forever.
