The Last Ferry Out

Abby travels to a remote tropical island where her fiancée, Eszter, died in what everyone calls a tragic accident. Grief-stricken, she finds a rugged, run-down place that tourists have forgotten, home to only a small group of residents. She cannot understand why Eszter chose to come here.

Abby falls in with a group of expats who remember Eszter well. One of them texts her that he knows the truth about Eszter's last days, but he disappears from the island before he can say more.

As Abby digs, she turns up hidden pasts, lies layered on lies and secrets that someone wants kept quiet. The longer she stays in the close-knit expat community, the more sure she becomes that one of its members killed Eszter and will go to any length to keep it buried. Her own safety is in doubt, since the person responsible may treat her as the next problem to remove.

This is a psychological thriller of suspense and betrayal, told through Abby's eyes as she investigates the death of the woman she loved. The island setting is isolated and uneasy, and the mystery tightens as the circle of suspects narrows to people Abby has come to trust.
