Adrianna, heir to the multimillion dollar Kensington nightclub empire, is planning her dream wedding – a lavish ceremony funded by exclusive sponsors, on the Kensington’s private tropical island Elysium.
There’s only one flaw in her perfect plans. Elysium holds traumatic memories as the place where she was kidnapped and held hostage for three days on her 21st birthday – a case that was never solved…
When a bridesmaid is murdered the night before the dress fitting, it soon becomes clear that Adrianna won’t be able to get hitched without a hitch. The body is staged in a gruesome display, chillingly reminiscent of Adrianna’s kidnapping.
When forensic expert Holly becomes embroiled in this alien world, the secrets that have dogged the bride and her bridesmaids since childhood start to come out. The answers lie on Elysium, if Holly can find her way into this playground of the rich and famous – and more importantly, if she can get out of it alive…
