Three months inparadise, all expenses paid. It's an invitation Alex Delawarecan't refuse. Dr. Woodrow Wilson Moreland, a reveredscientist and philanthropist on the tiny Pacific island of Aruk,has invited Alex to his home to help him organize his papers forpublication-- a light workload leaving Alex plenty of time to enjoya romantic interlude with Robin Castagna.

The cases Moreland chooses to share--a patient driven to madnessby a cruel, unspeakable act; a man who succumbed forty years ago toradiation poisoning after a nuclear blast; a young woman, brutallymurdered, whose mutilated body was found on the beach just sixmonths before-- seem unconnected. And yet Alex can't helpwondering what the good doctor is trying to tell him...and whatMoreland's real reason for inviting him to Aruk is.
As Alex probes--with a little long-distance help from his friendLAPD detective Milo Sturgis--he comes to believe the answer lieshidden somewhere on Moreland's vast estate. Yet when hefinally discovers the truth, the revelation will be more shockingthan he could have imagined. And it will come too late tostem the tide of violence that threatens guilty and innocent alikeon the lovely lost island of Aruk.
