The island was abandoned for fifty years.
So how did the body get there?
Navigaceo: a tiny island five hundred kilometres from land in the Atlantic Ocean. Hastily deserted fifty years ago, it has been uninhabited ever since. Until now.
Tess Macfarlane is part of the very first return expedition and, as a documentary filmmaker, her job is to record everything she sees. Whatever Tess is expecting to find, it is not a body. Recently killed and wearing the uniform as her.
It soon becomes clear that someone on Tess’s team is a killer. With five days until she can return to the mainland and no idea who to trust, can Tess avoid becoming the next body discovered on the shore?
