Dear Anthony,

I am dying. Please come, dear boy.

Jackson.

Anthony Peregrine cannot ignore this urgent summons to return to the family home on the beautiful island of Vonu in Fiji, where his long-estranged father, Justice Jackson Peregrine - known to all as 'Judge Jack' - holds sway. Before he dies, Judge Jack is desperate to have his family together, including Anthony's mercurial brother and troubled sister. On his arrival on the island, Anthony is confronted by a house of secrets, sexual temptation, and deadly enemies bent on revenge. Against the backdrop of island life, Anthony is forced to revisit the events of his fractured childhood and adolescence, and to examine his toxic relationship with his father. But soon, old wounds are the least of Anthony's problems.
