Publisher Description
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. 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 white sand. 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. 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.

" I just read this recently, and then realized that I had already read some of it. I can't fathom what possessed me to read it twice. It really wasn't very enjoyable. "

" I loved this book! So different with so many different unexpected twists. I loved the island setting and suspense. A page-turner and excellent psychological thriller from one of my favorite authors. "
— Emily, 2/11/2014 -
" I really enjoyed this book. It takes place in the small islands that I spent some time on as a baby. Lots of twists and turns but now I think I might be a Kellerman fan. "
— Tammyg, 2/4/2014 -
" I liked the slight departure from the formula. More thriller than usual. "
— Rob, 1/11/2014 -
" This book branches off from the typical setting and feel of Kellerman's books, but it still works. Alex Delaware is a good protagonist and Kellerman writes interesting story lines. "

" Read this some time ago as all of this series so far. "
— Peggy, 1/1/2014 -
" I enjoyed this book. The story was well developed. The characters were interesting and believable. While not only telling a good suspense story is addresses wrongs committed previously by our own government. "
— David, 12/20/2013 -
" 500 pages of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz followed by 50 pages of intense action. I barely made it through this one. The end was definitely a surprise though. "

" I have liked all his books and his wife Faye Kellerman. I would recommend them to everyone who likes mysterys or police books. "
— Donna, 12/1/2012 -
" I got about 3/4 of the way through this book and gave it up. Improbable and not interesting to me. "
— Doris, 10/31/2012 -
" This book is set away from LA, so Milo is only a few phone calls in the book. This is a little different from some of his other books. Is not a particularly stimulating read- but it is a good book. I wouldn't really buy it- rather check it out at the library. "
