Psychologist-detective
Dr. Alex Delaware finds terror in the heart of paradise in this
relentlessly sinister novel by America's premier writer of psychological
suspense, the author of ten successive New York Times bestsellers. Three
months in paradise, all expenses paid. It's an invitation Alex
Delaware can't refuse. Dr. Woodrow Wilson Moreland, a revered scientist
and philanthropist on the tiny Pacific island of Aruk, has invited Alex
to his home to help him organize his papers for publication-- a light
workload leaving Alex plenty of time to enjoy a romantic interlude with
Robin Castagna.Quickly, however, secretive houseguests,
frightening nocturnal visitors, and the 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
poisoning after a nuclear blast; a young woman, brutally murdered, whose
mutilated body was found on the beach just six months before-- seem
unconnected. And yet Alex can't help wondering what the good doctor is
trying to tell him...and what Moreland's real reason for inviting him to
Aruk is.As Alex probes--with a little long-distance help from
his friend LAPD detective Milo Sturgis--he comes to believe the answer
lies hidden somewhere on Moreland's vast estate. Yet when he finally
discovers the truth, the revelation will be more shocking than he could
have imagined. And it will come too late to stem the tide of violence
that threatens guilty and innocent alike on the lovely lost island of
Aruk.Once again, with his brilliant characterizations and
rapid-fire pace, Jonathan Kellerman has redefined the boundaries of
suspense, probing real-life horrors and innermost fears in a novel that
transfixes from first page to last. Views: 62
