Un jour de juin, en pleine canicule, un groupe de proches arrive à Lumen, un centre de bien-être luxueux situé sur une île surnommée le rocher de la Faucheuse. Tous n'aspirent qu'à se détendre mais un corps est retrouvé en contrebas du pavillon de yoga. L'inspectrice Elin Warner est chargée de l'enquête. Mais ses premières théories sont rapidement écartées lorsque le corps d'un autre invité est retrouvé dans un endroit sinistre. Elle doit traquer un tueur en série et elle est seule face à ce monstre sanguinaire car sur le continent la police a déjà fort à faire après un incident majeur. À elle de prouver qu'elle est à la hauteur. Saura-t-elle faire face au passé troublant de l'île, et à ses propres souvenirs ?... Après l'univers glacial du Sanatorium, Sarah Pearse nous emmène sur une île sauvage. Atmosphère étouffante et construction virtuose : Sarah Pearse à son sommet.
