The Island Summary

The Island by Ben McPherson

The chilling new psychological thriller by Ben McPherson, author of A LINE OF BLOOD.

A shocking act of violence...
It should have been the safest place on earth. A summer camp for teens, on a beautiful island off the coast of Oslo. But what started out as a haven becomes hell on earth as two men start shooting.

A family torn apart...
With Norway in shock, the families gather, desperately hoping their children have survived. Some have their prayers answered. Some must confront their worst nightmare. But for one family, this is just the beginning...

A daughter gone missing...
Cal and Elsa's daughter Licia was on the island that day. But the police can find no trace of her - dead or alive. Stuck in limbo, Cal and Elsa delve into their daughter's life. The secrets they uncover are shocking. But they still don't know - did Licia survive the shooting? Or is she gone forever?

'Emotional, painful and utterly memorable' Alex Marwood, bestselling author of The Wicked Girls
