Even for a con artist, Liz is about to take things way, way too far . . .

Liz has always had a knack for charming people and gaining their trust. That''s what makes her such a talented con artist. But lately the pressure''s rising - Liz''s past crimes have started snapping at her heels. So she leaps at the chance to escape to the Mexican coast to decorate a socialite''s new villa, planning to lie low, enjoy paradise, and behave herself for once.

When Liz is mistaken for her absent employer, Isabelle, she can''t help getting drawn into this glamorous seafront community. But dangerous secrets lurk beneath the surface, and it''s not long before Liz realises that this time, she might be in over her head . . .

Spoiler: it''s going to be carnage.
