The Island of Dragons — Gregg Dunnett

Billy Wheatley is Missing. Presumed Dead.When Billy Wheatley heads off to college, he exchanges small island life for the excitement of the mainland. And while he's able to ignore the temptations of drink, drugs, and sex which preoccupy the less able students around him, when he attracts the attention of a more sophisticated clique, he is far more at risk.They live within the rarefied air of exclusive restaurants, members-only clubs and exquisite privacy, where they debate the politics, art, and science that Billy yearns to master. But they also harbor a dark secret which funds it all. Except that secret is about to spectacularly implode, leaving Billy perfectly positioned to take the fall.Soon he finds himself accused of a murder - which he just might have actually committed. And with no way out of a net that is closing around him fast, it seems this might be a very premature end for a young man's promising career, and extraordinary life.The Island of Dragons is the fourth book in the international bestselling Rockpools series by British author Gregg Dunnett. With thousands of five-star reviews in the US and UK, the series is currently being translated into several foreign languages, and is being considered for a major film or TV series.
