THE PRIVATE ISLAND

New Year's Eve, Loloma Island, Fiji. At one of the most exclusive island resorts in the Pacific ocean, the champagne is poured, the fireworks ready and the countdown to new year is just beginning. It's set to be a night that no one will forget - especially when a body washes up on the shore. But it's impossible to find answers when everyone has a motive.

The billionaire's daughter, hungry for her inheritance.
The start-up founder, out of money, and out of time.
The young dive instructor, in over his head and struggling to stay afloat.
The husband, blinded by desire, in all the wrong ways.
And the lover, hidden in the shadows.

One person's holiday of a lifetime is about to be the last they'll ever have.
