Before Thorn fell in love with crime-scene photographer Alexandra Rafferty, he was involved with Anne Joy, a beautiful woman who abandoned a violent life to forge a new, happier one in the Florida Keys. But her past includes her sadistic brother Vic, now a wealthy rogue businessman who specializes in the hijacking of pleasure boats and who delights in cruelly murdering their owners. Vic is obsessed by his sister and will do whatever it takes to drive his sister's lovers away-even murder. When Vic decides that he must possess the land on which Thorn's beloved home is built, nothing will stand in his way-not even the life of a little girl, the daughter of Thorn's closest friend.The master of suspense...James Hall's prose runs as clean and fast as Gulf Stream waters. --The New York Times Book ReviewHall raises mystery writing to its rightful place of honor alongside the best of American fiction. --San Francisco ChronicleIn the crowded and talented pool of South Florida suspense writers, James Hall pretty much has the deep end to himself.
