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 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.
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.
