Hailed for his extraordinary writing Publishers Weekly and his incisively chiseled characters The New York Times, Jonathon King returns with a chilling new thriller featuring Max Freeman, the most thoughtful, well-read, and multilayered private eye hero since Spenser Booklist, starred review. Craving some quiet time together, Max Freeman and Detective Sherry Richards retreat to Maxs shack deep in the Florida Everglades. No television. No cell phones. No neighbors. It seems like the perfect getaway until a violent hurricane rips through South Florida, obliterating everything in its path. And that is just the beginning of the nightmare. With Sherry severely injured and no way to call for help, the couple begins a treacherous trip back to civilization only to find that the hurricanes devastation is the least of their worries.
