IT'S A PRIZE ANYONE WOULD KILL TO WIN...

Ten celebrities have arrived to take part in a gruelling reality survival show: two weeks completely alone on a remote Scottish island, in the depths of winter. With some careers on the rise, and others whose star is fading, almost everyone has something to play for. But investigative journalist Lauren has one question - what does Hollywood megastar Nate Stirling have to gain by taking part?

With a production team that seems incapable of keeping them safe, a gathering storm and the unrelenting gaze of hidden cameras, the contestants are stretched to the limit as they try to outshine their fellow competitors and hide their darkest secrets.

But when a body is found, it's clear that the game has become a matter of life and death...

"I had a storm of a time on Isolation Island, the cool debut thriller from Louise Minchin. A windswept landscape, a graveyard, an old monastery and a gaggle of minor celebrities competing for a reality TV prize... except one is Hollywood A-lister Nate Stirling and everyone has secrets to keep and lies to tell. This is a beautifully accomplished debut with vivid characters, surprising twists and an insider's beady eye on the TV industry. Slick, stylish and thoroughly enjoyable." - Janice Hallett
