Good suspense/thriller for teens. It will keep you guessing till the very end. I couldn't put it down.

Don't call for help, he just might kill you...

Disaster has already struck when 15 year old Kelsey visits the island home of Eric, her mother's boyfriend. As soon as they arrive, Eric announces that his daughter, Beth has vanished and is thought to have drowned. In the days that follow, Kelsey discovers a dead body, runs into a shark, learns of recent drownings on the island, has a creepy encounter with the local madman, and finds reasons to suspect that nearly every man she meets is Beth's murderer.

A summer
of sun,sand-
and murder.

Kelsey's summer should have been paradise:An
invitation to rich and famous Beverly Island,
complete with sun-drenched beaches and three
gorgeous lifeguards on duty.
But Kelsey's summer is the opposite of para-
dise.It starts with the note under her pillow from
a girl who's missing.Then there's the crazy man in
in the lighthouse who won't leave Kelsey alone.
And there have been a number of suspicious
drownings....
At least she has the lifeguards around to
protect her....
Poor Kelsey.Someone forgot to tell her that
lifeguards don't always like to save lives.
