From Publishers Weekly
Liz Barwick's tranquil life on an island off the Georgia coast turns nightmarish after a tragic secret two decades old is unearthed and her ex-husband, a steroid-crazed NFL star, goes on a murderous rampage. A "fast-paced, multilevel tale of mystery and revenge," said PW. "In a suspenseful--albeit telegraphed--final encounter, one deadly monster destroys another."

What a delight....although this is not in the horror genre' that I usually enjoy it was extremely suspenseful with heart pounding excitement. I would call it pyschological horror at its best. Being a woman that has been abused by beatings from my husband this book was even more scary. Just when I had a portion of the plot worked out, it made a quick right and then detoured around to turn out completely different then I figured. Loaded with lots of surprises, lots of suspense and fear and....OH YEAH, BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR GOLIATH! He isn't friendly by any means. He'll make your head spin and, quite likely. fall off your shoulders! Hope you enjoy your trip to Cumberland Island....the ferry is ready to take you there!

I picked this book up last week because I'd started the author's Stone Barrington books and liked them. After getting a couple chapters in, I realized that I'd read it when it first came out over ten years ago, and that I knew how things turned out in the mystery.
But I liked it so much I read it over anyhow! You'll probably do the same.

From back cover:
When both your past and future spell fear. For years, Liz Barwick has been battered by her brutal husband, a famous pro football player. This time it takes an emergency room to keep her from death. Now, the beautiful and talented photographer retreats to an island paradise off Georgia's coast to find solitude--and herself.

As she becomes increasingly involved with the strange and handsome twin scions of the powerful Drummond family, she feels her traumatic memories begin to fade. But when a killer launches a series of gruesome murders, Liz discovers that there is no place to hide--not even in her lover's arms.
