Welcome to Litsy!

On glittering Capri, anything can be a mirage. And no one holds a grudge like family. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters comes an electrifying thriller about an opulent family retreat to Italy that�s shattered by the resurfacing of a decades-old crime. In 1992 Sarah Lingate is found dead below the cliffs of Capri, leaving behind her three-year-old daughter, Helen. Despite suspicions that the old-money Lingates are involved, Sarah�s death is ruled an accident. And every year, the family returns to prove it�s true. But on the thirtieth anniversary of Sarah�s death, the Lingates arrive at the villa to find a surprise waiting for them�the necklace Sarah was wearing the night she died. Haunted by the specter of that night, the legendary Lingate family unity is pushed to a breaking point, and Helen seizes the opportunity. Enlisting the help of Lorna Moreno, a family assistant, the two plot their escape from Helen�s paranoid, insular family. But when Lorna disappears and the investigation into Sarah�s death is reopened, Helen has to confront the fact that everyone who was on Capri thirty years ago remains a suspect�her controlling father Richard, rarely-lucid aunt Naomi, distant uncle Marcus, and their circle of friends, visitors, and staff. Even Lorna, her closest ally, may not be who she seems. As long-hidden secrets about that night boil to surface, one thing becomes clear: not everyone will leave the island alive.
