'Succession with a Highland twist' Daily Mail

Every family has a secret.
The Pallanders have it all – a castle in the Scottish Highlands and an island in the Caribbean – but their perfect life is about to be shattered.

Every father has a favourite.
Sebastian Pallander dies, leaving a pitiful amount of money for his relatives to fight over. Then his son is killed in mysterious circumstances, and everyone suspects foul play.

Every killer has a motive.
The family gather at their estate and begin to wonder: who will be next? Where has all their money gone? And will anyone get what they truly deserve?
