It's judgement day in paradise... Since usurping her brother as CEO, Geri Chalice has grown the family business into a lucrative global empire. She is revered and feared in equal measure. On the eve of her seventieth birthday, Geri gathers her brother's spoilt adult children together on the family's private island and tells them that she's ready to name her successor. Her announcement triggers a frenzy of suspicion, rivalry and back-stabbing. Each of the three siblings believes the role should go to them - despite the dark secrets that they all harbour. As Geri uncovers the black heart of her own family, will the best among them win the prize? Or will the heirs to the Chalice crown finally get what they so richly deserve?

But at the time my story opens sudden death, and all the evils the most normal death implies in our strange, transitory existence, seem very far from the inhabitants of Te...
