A school reunion on a remote Scottish island, a dream holiday to Paris, an investigation into the whereabouts of a man in a blurry photo... What connects them? Murder! And if the Diamond Brothers don't play their cards right, they could easily end up dead!

What's the meaning of the black rings everyone wears? Where do the other pupils vanish to at night? Most important of all, how on earth can David get away - alive?
