It was reissued in 2002 by Leisure Publishing, with new cover artwork and a foreword by popular suspense novelist Dean Koontz . Synopsis The novel is structured as a series of journal entries made by Rupert, a young man who finds himself stranded on an island in the Bahamas along with six other people when their yacht mysteriously explodes. After an ax wielding maniac claims the lives of two of the castaways, Rupert and the other survivors are forced to try and outwit the mysterious killer in order to save their lives. Since the concept of the novel is that Rupert is making his journal entries as events happen with no knowledge as to how future developments in the plot will unfold , the reader is left uncertain as to whether any of the book s characters, including Rupert himself, will survive unlike most first person narratives, where the survival of the narrator, at least, tends to be a foregone conclusion . The novel plays with these expectations at several points, with Rupert s life constantly being in danger right alongside those of his compatriots. Comparisons to Laymon s other works The book contains many similarities to Laymon s other novels, including surprising and often outlandish plot twists, a sexually depraved villain, portrayal of the heroines ...

The local chief of police Sylvester Maxwell asks Corey to act as consultant in a local murder investigation, the two victims Tom and Judy Gordon being personally known to Corey and, worryingly, employees on the Plum Island Animal Disease Center , a facility suspected of carrying out biological warfare research.

He continues the investigation, despite being officially released from his duties.
