Summary
From the outside looking in, Connie Hadley appears to be leading a perfectly pampered and comfortable life. But inside she is hiding a devastating secret that could destroy her marriage. She finds her life irrevocably changed the day of the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor. As the Japanese Zero aircraft fires on the town of Palur, Connie makes the decision to take the family boat, The White Pearl, to Singapore. She heads off with her husband and son, three friends and the enigmatic boat dealer Fitzpayne, who is the only person who can navigate the islands of the South China Sea. In desperation, short of food and constantly in danger, fear begins to strip away good manners; tensions begin to rise on the yacht and anger causes deadly divisions between friends...
