THE OFFING

Roz Nay

Ivy McGill (21) is in trouble. Sickened over having been romantically involved with her college professor, she needs somewhere to go that feels restorative. So when her best friend, Regan, offers her a month-long hiatus from the city in the form of a vacation in Queensland, Australia, it feels like a lifelineand Ivy grabs it with both hands.

Regan is everything Ivy's notconfident, free-spirited, at ease. Ten days into their trip, Ivy is drawn to a calmer type of adventure when she spots an ad for crewmembers on a family-owned yacht being sailed by Christopher Farris and his young daughter, Lila. Christopher is the consummate upbeat host. He's charming, safety-conscious, and capable. The girls decide to take the job. What they discover, however, is that Christopher has employed a third crewmember. He's a young guy, Desh, with a faintly British accent, loads of cheeky-boy swagger, and startlingly good looks. As the boat sails North into searing tropical heat, tensions start to rise. Once beyond the range of cell service, Christopher's happy-go-lucky charm starts to fade, allowing new, stranger aspects of his personality to creep in. Under pressure and unable to avoid each other, the crew has a cataclysmic night of drinking, during which Regan reveals a shocking secret that changes everything. And just when Ivy comes up with a solution, she finds that Regan is no longer on the boat. This story will keep you guessing until the very end.
