Alba White returns to her favorite Cornish hotel, perched on cliffs above a remote, beautiful, and quiet cove. She is surprised and embarrassed to bump into an old school friend, whom she has not spoken to for years. The cause of their estrangement was Alba herself, and she senses an opportunity to help and redeem herself when her former friend's husband fails to return to the hotel one evening.

While a missing husband does not generate much interest from the other hotel residents or the small, tight-knit staff who work at "The Jupiter Hotel," Alba believes something is not right. A trail of mystery and danger lies ahead, but what happens next catches even Alba out. The trail encompasses a deserted country house, a gifted artist, the hotel's chef who may be wasted at such a small establishment, two young brothers whom Alba takes under her wing, and an old map.

All of these somehow lead Alba to the truth, but she has to put herself in harm's way to get there. Or does everything come down to the turn of a card?
