A Remote Island. A Brutal Murder. A Dynasty Built on Lies.
When Evelyn Dawson, the trophy wife of ruthless corporate titan Graham Dawson, is brutally murdered on the family's private retreat, the consequences threaten to unravel a meticulously constructed empire. Something Beneath the Pines is a riveting thriller set on the secluded, storm-swept Dawson Island, where a weekend retreat for elite CEOs turns into a desperate battle for survival.
Clara Dawson, the independent-minded park ranger and Graham's estranged daughter, knows the island holds more than just pines and jagged rocks - it holds generations of dark family history. Called back under urgent and terrifying circumstances, Clara discovers that Evelyn's death is the catalyst for a full-scale psychological reckoning.
The atmosphere among the trapped CEOs - Michael Trent, Lucas Grant, Derek Shaw, Steven Chu, and Carl Bishop - is thick with tension, unspoken accusations, and the desperate effort to maintain a veneer of control. Clara, joining forces with the sharp Detective Helen Morales, begins piecing together Evelyn's secret life, uncovering a trail of betrayal, illicit affairs, and devastating financial truths that Evelyn had sought to expose.
What Clara finds buried beneath the island's tranquillity is a reflection of her father's own dark rise to power: a legacy built on callous manipulation, fear, and silence. As she unearths a broken family heirloom, tampered security logs, and a chilling warning from the killer, Clara realises she is navigating a dangerous game where her own life - and the fate of her half-brother Andrew, caught between family loyalty and the truth - hangs in the balance.
Hamon de Quillan skilfully combines corporate intrigue with domestic suspense, as it is shown that sometimes the most dangerous wilderness is the one that is hidden in the heart of a human being. Find out the fatal fact beneath the pines.
