Publisher Description

While most of the residents in the wealthy, historic Charleston enclave of Landgrave Hall are asleep at two-thirty in the morning, Huger Dillard and his father, Unc, are heading to the adjoining golf course. Blinded by a terrible accident that killed his wife, Unc prefers to practice his golf game when no one is watching. But before anyone can even tee off, Huger makes a grisly find: a woman's body, anchored deep in the mud. The discovery sets off a chain of events that puts Huger and his family up against secret military forces, shadowy global networks, and more. The only thing connecting them all is Landgrave Hall - and the treacherous reason why this area is so important to so many people.

"I was a bit surprised at the twist near the end. I like that it was not obvious from the beginning. I hardly read reviews anymore because I like being surprised and forming my own pictures from my reading. I think it stems from my childhood - was very disappointed when my brother told me about santa clause before I was ready!"

    " The pacing of this book seemed uneven. Too slow at first and too abrupt as the mystery unraveled. Nonetheless, I liked the prose and Huger's voice, so maybe I'll give Lott another try. "

    " This was a very odd book. It had so much potential but fell flat in so many ways. It felt as though a committee wrote the book and didn't reject any ideas.
