Synopsis from Goodreads:
On the paradisial shores of sunny California, eight strangers find themselves corralled in a run-down backpackers' hostel with secrets they’re more than willing to kill for. This holiday-set read is a compulsive and addictive thriller that asks the question: How far would you run to escape your past?
Venice Beach, Los Angeles. A paradise on earth. Tourists flock to the golden coast and the promise of Hollywood. But for eight strangers at a beach-front hostel, there is far more on their minds than an extended vacation. All of them are running from something. And they all have secrets they’d kill to keep…
