Sinopsis

Ashley Smith, Studentin der Kunstgeschichte aus Sacramento, Kalifornien, wollte die Weihnachtstage während ihres Auslandsjahrs in London eigentlich allein verbringen. Erst die kurzfristige Einladung ihrer Kommilitonin Emma Chapman führt sie nach Starvewood Hall, dem Landsitz der Familie in Clevemoor in den Cotswolds. Ashley ist fasziniert von dem festlich geschmückten Herrenhaus, dem Feuer im Kamin, den vielen Gästen, dem guten Essen – und auch von Emmas attraktivem Bruder. Doch gegen Adam ermittelt die örtliche Polizei: Er soll ein Mädchen brutal ermordet haben. Außerdem treibt ein mysteriöser Fremder sein Unwesen in dem Wald zwischen Starvewood Hall und dem örtlichen Pub … Mehr als dreißig Jahre später werden die Ereignisse jener schrecklichen Festtage wieder aufgerollt: Was 1989 in einem kleinen englischen Dorf begann, findet viele Weihnachten später sein grausames Ende in New York.

    “There are four basic reasons why someone commits murder. The first and most powerful is love. The second—equally powerful—is hate. Almost equally compelling is revenge. The fourth is profit. Money. When one family member kills another, one or more of them is almost always the motive, and the murders on Calypso Key were no exception.” —Harry Starke 
    It was one of those beautiful, balmy days on Calypso Key in the US Virgin Islands. The sky was blue and a cool breeze was blowing in off the ocean as Harry and Amanda took their vows. All of their friends were there and all was well with the world … and then the sky fell. Harry draws the line at getting involved when the death of one of his father’s friends intrudes upon his wedding day, until he finds out he owes the girl’s father a debt he can never repay. And so he is dragged into an investigation of not just one murder, but two—and the wealthiest, most dysfunctional family he’s ever met. The cast of characters includes a former Navy Seal—now a butler—a man up to his eyes in shady financial dealings, and the woman at the heart of it all, who was pushed to her death from a third-story balcony. Harry clears a few hours to enjoy the good life on Calypso Key, but as for the investigation … well, we all know that when Harry’s involved, nothing is ever quite what it seems.
