A brutal hijacker.A missing heiress.... and a luxury liner racing toward disaster.In the quiet shallows of the Florida Keys, Thorn has made a home, tying fishing flies and trying to forget the violence of his past. Now Key Largo is his world. He fishes it, breathes it, makes love in it. Until a phone call from Miami changes everything plunging Thorn into the deep waters of madness and revenge...In Miami, Thorn's best friend, Sugarman, is fighting for his life. While working security for a luxury liner plagued by theft, Sugarman was attacked by a man with a knife in one hand and 400,000 volts of electricity in the other. And when the M.S. Eclipse sets sail for the Caribbean, both Thorn and Sugarman are swept into a voyage of terror... where a madman hijacks the Eclipse, killing off crew members one by one... where the cruise line owner's missing daughter reappears, igniting the killer's passions--and Thorn's battered heart--where hundreds of lives hang in the balance, as only Thorn stands between a madman's rage and the ultimate carnage at sea.
