What to expect

Brought to you Penguin.
Six Contestants. One Murder. Twelve Million Witnesses.
The reality show no one will ever forget.

Rhys Sutton dies suddenly on a desert island.

12 million people watch it happen – before the TV producers pull the plug.

Rhys was one of six reality show contestants.

The other five – best friend, rival, girlfriend, lover, sworn enemy – are now suspects.

Because Rhys was the most hated man on TV.

What happened on the island? Which secrets did the cameras miss? And who’d commit a crime in front of millions?
