Four years ago, four friends went to Portugal on a fishing trip, but only three came back. Now, long after he was presumed dead, Philip Vickers returns to his wife and three friends. But he can't trust any of them. Which of the three friends tried to murder him? Were all three in on it? Was his wife? And what about his wife's social secretary, who is none too happy to see him back? Philip Vickers is bitter, angry, cold and cynical, and he could be going mad. But he's determined to put an end to his nightmares and find out who tried to kill him and why.
