Synopsis

For attorneys Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana, spending a couple of days in a private villa on a secluded island in the Florida Keys seems too good to be true: an innocent cliche that hits home with a vengeance when a dangerously unbalanced former client of Anthony's is accused of a local murder, and subsequently attempts suicide. As their idyllic vacation turns into a terrifying nightmare, Gail and Anthony find themselves trapped among the strange and secretive islanders as a late tropical storm threatens to unleash its fury on them all. Somehow, they must remain sane and use every weapon at their disposal to outwit a wily criminal bent on plunging them into a world of deepening madness.

This was a pretty good mystery, even the second time around. For whatever reason I had completely forgotten all the salient points of this book including the shocker ending. The basis of the mystery is not a new idea (are there any new ideas?) but it is presented well.......more
