Three months in paradise, all expenses paid. It's an invitation Alex Delawarecan't refuse. Dr. Woodrow Wilson Moreland, a revered scientist andphilanthropist on the tiny Pacific island of Aruk, has invited Alex to his hometo help him organize his papers for publication-- a light workload leaving Alexplenty of time to enjoy a romantic interlude with Robin Castagna.
Quickly, however, secretive houseguests, frightening nocturnal visitors, andthe elusive Dr. Moreland himself dim the pleasures of deep blue water and whitesand.
The cases Moreland chooses to share--a patient driven to madness by a cruel,unspeakable act; a man who succumbed forty years ago to radiation poisoningafter a nuclear blast; a young woman, brutally murdered, whose mutilated bodywas found on the beach just six months before-- seem unconnected. And yet Alexcan't help wondering what the good doctor is trying to tell him...and whatMoreland's real reason for inviting him to Aruk is.
As Alex probes--with a little long-distance help from his friend LAPD detectiveMilo Sturgis--he comes to believe the answer lies hidden somewhere onMoreland's vast estate. Yet when he finally discovers the truth, therevelation will be more shocking than he could have imagined. And it will cometoo late to stem the tide of violence that threatens guilty and innocent alikeon the lovely lost island of Aruk.
Once again, with his brilliant characterizations and rapid-fire pace, JonathanKellerman has redefined the boundaries of suspense, probing real-life horrorsand innermost fears in a novel that transfixes from first page to last.
