On the tiny Caribbean island of Mill Walk, the rich play tennis, polo
and golf, trying to ignore the distasteful realities of life. So when
Tom Pasmore, the grandson of a powerful establishment figure, develops a
passion for detective work - particularly murder cases - his reputation
undergoes a subtle darkening. One murder in particular fascinates Tom -
the 1925 killing of Jeanine Thielman at Eagle Lake, a resort patronized
only by the cream of the island's upper crust community. But when he
starts investigating the case, Tom arouses much more than mere
disapproval. On the edge of a web of corruption, deceit and violence, he
is in danger of uncovering the darkest secrets of the people who own
and run Mill Walk.
