Greece, 1960. Rough weather at sea leaves a group of strangers stranded on the idyllic island of Utakos, all guests of the only local hotel.

Nothing could prepare them for what happens next: Edith Mander, a quiet British tourist, is found dead inside the beach cabana.

At first it appears to be a clear suicide, but Ormond Basil, an out-of-work actor best-known for playing Sherlock Holmes in his glory days, suspects foul play.

Accustomed to seeing Ormond as the greatest detective of all time on the big screen, the other guests enlist him to solve the mystery. But can he find the killer before they strike again?
