The Honeymoon Coast

A British woman disappears during her honeymoon on Croatia's Adriatic coast. Local police see the familiar possibilities: accident, affair, voluntary disappearance. Then another newlywed vanishes. Then another. All traveled through the same luxury concierge service, a company known for anticipating every desire before its clients can ask. Investigators discover that the service does more than arrange villas and private boats. It identifies emotionally isolated couples, studies their finances, and shapes relationships years before the wedding. The missing women are not random victims of travel. Their marriages may have been engineered as part of an inheritance operation spanning several countries. Along a coastline designed to sell romance, every perfect photograph hides another transaction, and every honeymoon may be the final stage of a plan that began long before the couple met.
