Plagued by professional and personal pressures, he finds himself no longer a top contender, and everyone is saddened when he takes his own life. But his best friend Ethan Wilson knows that despite Aaron's difficulties, suicide was not on his mind, and he begs Chloe to investigate.

Then they discover there'll be a third crewmember, a young guy, Desh, with a hard-to-place accent, a cheeky swagger, and startlingly good looks. As the boat sails North into the tropical heat, the close quarters and some strange behaviour on the part of both men cause tensions to rise. The sudden appearance of another yacht which seems to be trailing theirs, despite its owner's denial, adds to the girls' growing sense of danger. And there are the secrets that Ivy and Regan are keeping from each other--until an explosive night of heavy drinking changes everything. Interspersed with transcripts from the police investigation that follows gruesome discoveries both on land and at sea, this fast-paced, twisty thriller keeps you guessing until the very last page."-- Provided by publisher.
