To solve the crime of the century, she'll have to go back in time."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. Although the means for solving the crime seems forced, the combination of mystery, evil, glamour, and light science fiction makes for an engrossing series debut. Fancy cars, posh pool parties, and glittering nightlife are the veneer shielding the sinister purpose of the Janus Society.
And so Lila Day becomes Camilla Dayton, a rich newcomer to the Miami moneyed set.
Hawkins, a friend of the victims, pays her to use his newly invented time machine to travel back in time to live among the victims in the months before the murders, hoping that she will be able to identify the killer before he kills. She is ripe for taking an offer from Teddy Hawkins, a billionaire inventor, to reopen the Janus case-but with a twist. Three years later, in 2018, the dispirited and discredited Lila is fired from her hotel-security job. All were murdered, execution style, creating a locked-room mystery that stumped Miami’s best detective, Lila Day. On New Year’s Day, 2015, all 12 members, but only the members, of the Janus Society, an exclusive, secretive philanthropic club, convened at a member’s gated villa on Star Island, accessible only by boat from Miami Beach. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Now she must either say good-bye or risk altering the future forever. But as she goes undercover among the members of Miami's high society, she finds herself caring for-and falling for-people who are destined to die that fateful night. With nothing left to lose, an incredulous Lila travels back to 2014, determined to find the Star Island killer once and for all. But how do you investigate a crime when all the leads have long ago gone cold? The answer, Teddy tells her, is to solve the case before it happens. Now, three years later, life hands Lila an unexpected second chance: reclusive billionaire Teddy Hawkins approaches Lila and asks her to solve the case. But the case went unsolved, resulting in her dismissal from the Miami PD. Her hunt for the Star Island killer consumed her.
The massacre shocked the nation and destroyed the life of investigator Lila Day. It's a blissful escape from the hot and dirty city-or it was, until New Year's Day 2015, when twelve of the most powerful people in the world were found murdered in the basement of a Star Island mansion. Welcome to Star Island, where Miami's wealthiest residents lead private lives behind the tall gates of their sprawling mansions. To solve the crime of the century, she'll have to go back in time.
