About this ebook
The holiday of a lifetime becomes a fight for survival in this gripping summer thriller from James Patterson.
Sitting in a dark, dank prison cell in Paris, serving a life sentence for murder, Abbie Elliot tries to piece together the story of how she came to be here.
It all happened in Monte Carlo, where she was having the holiday of a lifetime with her three best friends away from their stifling lives, and husbands.
Abbie remembers casinos, nightclubs, champagne and private yachts. The next thing she can remember is a swarm of police storming the yacht and arresting her and her friends.
Abbie has been set up, she knows it. But now she must find out who would do this to her, and why. Or she will spend the rest of her life rotting in that cell.

One of my favourites of James Patterson's books, this was my second read through of this book & enjoyed it just as much as the first time. A decent plot with a likeable lead character in Abbie Elliott you really feel for her as the story unfolds in it's twists & turns. I very much highly recommend this one!!
