''I haven''t read anything so terrifying since Red Dragon'' Stephen King

Imagine an updated Vertigo: darker, more scary but just as hypnotically seductive. A dark psychological crime thriller for fans of Dennis Lehane's Shutter Island.

Selected for BBC Radio 2 Book Club with Simon Mayo.

Toxicologist Caleb Maddox has two puzzles to solve. What connects the series of dead bodies found floating in San Francisco Bay? And why is Emmeline, the strange and beautiful woman he met in a secluded bar, so secretive about her past? One thing is certain: finding the answers could be the last thing Caleb ever does.
