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 vast estate to help him organize his papers for publication-an easy job 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 Dr. Moreland chooses to share-a patient driven to madness, a man who succumbed forty years ago to radiation poisoning after a nuclear blast, a young woman brutally murdered, her mutilated body found just six months earlier-seem unconnected. 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 beleive the answer lies hidden somewhere on Aruk. Yet when he finally discovers the truth, it will be more shocking than he could have imagined.
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 listening experience that transfixes from first to last word.
