Notes From Your BooksellerInspired by the chilling 1800s voyage of the Mary Celeste, this is a peculiar modern retelling. The vessel was found abandoned by the captain and crew even though all their cargo and personal belongings were undisturbed. Dean’s book takes this tale to a cruise ship, and if thats not stressful enough, there is a creeping dread that keeps these pages turning.
An unputdownable locked-room thriller about family, trust, and survival from the acclaimed author of the “utterly thrilling” (Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author) First Born.
When Caz steps onboard the exclusive cruise liner RMS Atlantica, it’s the start of a vacation of a lifetime with her new love, Pete. On their first night they explore the ship, eat, dance, make friends, but when Caz wakes the next morning, Pete is missing.
And when she walks out into the corridor, all the cabin doors are open. To her horror, she soon realizes that the ship is completely empty. No passengers, no crew, nobody but her. The Atlantica is steaming into the mid-Atlantic and Caz is the only person on board. But that’s just the beginning of the terrifying journey she finds herself trapped on in this white-knuckled mystery.
