Publisher's summary

New York book editor Maris Matherly-Reed knows a best seller when she sees one - even if it is just a tantalizing partial manuscript submitted by a writer identified only as P.M.E., with the return address of an obscure island off the Georgia coast. Maris is intrigued enough to search for him.

Her trip to Georgia to meet the mysterious author takes her to an eerie, ruined cotton plantation, where Maris finds Parker Evans, a man confined to a wheelchair who carefully hides his past. Coaxing his novel from him chaper by chapter, Maris becomes caught up in his tale of two friends who rent a boat with a young woman for a night of sex and drinking. Only one person will return from that trip.

Disturbed about her sexual attraction to Parker and worried about her marriage to author and her co-publisher Noah Reed, Maris returns to New York, where the delivery of Parker's newest chapters convince her they are more than fiction. She wonders how well she knows her husband and begins a harrowing search for a truth that ties back to a terrifying crime and a man who will use her, or anyone, to get his revenge.

W.O.W

this is the 2nd book of Sandra's that I've read and I've just purchased another because I can't get enough of her stories. I've been an insatiable reader all my life and these days the books that really consume me get harder to come by, however envy and chill factor have both done that. Keep writing Sandra.

Great book

Great book. Got hooked right away. Slow build up of suspense that gradually peaked. I guessed some aspect of the end but still enjoyed its development, plus the ending itself was impossible to predict. Great ending. I thought the narration was really good too.

Riveting!

I re-listen to this every few months. What an amazing story it is. The story line is imaginative
and compelling. Of all Ms. Brown's books I have listened to this is at way the top of my list.

Classic Brown

This is one of my top two favorite Sandra Brown books. Mystery, sexual attraction, and a major plot twist combining to make a compelling story is her trademark, and this one delivers.

Slezak does a decent job of narration, but not exemplary. He definitely needs a little work on his female voices and pronunciations.

Overall, a definite recommend if you want to try one of her books.
