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.

And excellent book. kept me on my toes all the war

The characters were so vivid from the beginning even though there is mystery to it at the start. There was one part or two that I had to stop the audio as I was so afraid of what was happening. I loved the way it moved smoothly to each chapter leaving you still with a few questions. all in all, best book in a long time.

Great

I loved this book. I did not want to stop listening. I like books that provoke emotions. This one took me through several emotions so it gets 5 stars. Narration is also good.

Great suspense, a great suspense book…

.., A must read. This is a very complicated plot, but well fight and shows how ugly and disturbing NV can be. The book is written, like those film stories where you are seeing the present story, but you’re also seeing the past and ultimately towards the end you start, realizing what’s really going on and how the ending would be.

Best book I’ve heard in a long time.

I loved this style of writing, how she didn’t spell it all out for you in the beginning and you really had to think about how all the pieces of the puzzle were going to fall into place. The narrator was amazing, and not too over the top. I might just have to listen to this book again! It was that good. Oh and the double plot was the icing on the cake.

Envy

This is one of the best books I have read. When I wasn't reading about it, I was thinking about what was going to happen next. The narrator did an excellent job telling this story and while I listened, I felt as if I was in the South. This is one story I will read again and recommend to others.

I love you

This book was exactly what I was asking for. There was intrigue, romance, thrills, twists, critical thinking. I love romance but only if it has equal plot intelligence. I feel as though the author did both. Thank you so much Sandra Brown. You supplied to me an escape that seemed designed specifically for me.
