THEY ALL HAD A MOTIVE

Seven people came to the island. Only one of them knew Alejandro would never leave it.

Alejandro Varela built his fortune on the ruins of other men and learned to sleep soundly. He owns a private island in the Caribbean, a marble house facing the water, and the certainty that the past can be bought like everything else.

Then he sees Elena again.

He invites her to spend a few days on the island. Her, her husband, and her two grown children. What looks like generosity is a door that locks from the inside.

Five days later, Alejandro is found dead.

They all had a motive. And every one of them is lying.

• Elena, who let herself love him again in secret and realized too late who he was really watching.
• Marcos, the husband who raised two children who were not his and swallowed a humiliation he could only guess at.
• Lucía, twenty-five, the most fragile person in the house. Or the only one who arrived with a plan.
• Tomás, the brother who protects his family without asking what it costs.
• Clara, the ex-wife who lost everything in the divorce and has not forgiven a single day of it.
• Rafael, the partner Alejandro destroyed twenty-five years ago, who has been waiting ever since.

For readers who love going back to find the clue that was there the whole time.

• A closed circle, seven suspects, and a revelation that sends you straight back to chapter one.
• Absolute fair play: everything you need to solve it is on the page before the ending.
• A family secret buried for twenty-five years.
• Short chapters and the pace of a single night.
