The premise

Barbara Carey arrives in Rome to visit her sister, blind pianist Marianne Saunders, only to discover that she has mysteriously vanished. To make matters worse, this is the third instance in recent months of a blind girl's abduction. With the help of British Consulate Martin Foster, Barbara searches for her sister – a search that leads her to the private island of millionaire David Malcom. Is Marianne still alive? Why are blind women being targeted? And what terrible secrets does David keep on his remote island?

Horror Vault's take

When Barbara Carey travels to Rome expecting a reunion with her blind pianist sister, she instead finds herself plunged into a disturbing pattern of disappearances targeting vulnerable women. Teaming up with a British Consulate official, she pursues a trail of dread that winds its way to the secluded private island of a powerful and enigmatic millionaire. The remote setting and mounting secrets make for a slow-burn thriller where no one can be fully trusted and safety feels very far away.
