Book Description:
A high-stakes treasure hunt…A twisted trail of murder…A secret one woman may die to discover…
Number one New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen last electrified readers with Dead Aim and No One to Trust. Now she offers a new pulse-pounding thriller that takes suspense writing to an all-new level: deep below the surface, where a ruthless killer strikes without warning, without mercy...and with the deadliest intent.
Melis Nemid is treading in dangerous waters--and she’s about to be dragged under. As a marine researcher, Melis knows all too well the dangers that can lurk under even the calmest surfaces. But not even she can guess how deep the darkness runs. Only one oceanographer ever came close to discovering the deadly mystery that lies beneath the sea--and he seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Now Melis is the last one who knows the truth. And someone is determined that the truth will die with her. For what Melis knows about the deep-sea mystery is only part of a nightmarish past torn by violence. She thought she had put that past behind her when she arrived at her Caribbean island home to research dolphin behavior.
But her peace--and her life--is about to be shattered by the arrival of a savage killer. Someone--for reasons unknown even to Melis--is cutting a path of destruction and death that leads directly to her.Only one man can save her--a man who claims to be a fellow oceanographer. He will seek to gain Melis’s trust, getting close to her secret and her life. But what this enigmatic man really wants, Melis may not discover until it’s too late. Because whoever is after her knows her nightmares intimately, and soon she will be forced to relive them all over again. Except for the final nightmare. The one she can’t possibly survive.

WoW! What a great read. I am a slow reader, I still finished this book in 2 days.

Couldn't put this book down. Very good suspenseful read.
Dawn M. (Johansen offers a pulse-pounding thriller that takes suspense writing to an all-new level; deep below the surface, where a ruthless killer strikes without warning, without mercy..and with the deadliest intent.
I call books like these "snack foods". If you want a good suspenseful quick read, Johansen is one author who has mastered that art form. Easy to read, fast paced, characters you care about and characters you want to kill. Like eating snack foods, you're not really hungry but you feel like a part of you wants to be entertained; you have a couple of hours to kill and something to chomp on would be just the ticket. This delicious thriller is about a group of people searching for a lost city, Marinth, that only one man, Paul, has access to a map. He's murdered and his adopted daughter, Melis, inherits everything, including the map. But she has no interest in locating the lost city and its treasures. She'd much rather spend time studying and playing with her 2 dolphins, Pete and Susie. A very wealthy man, Kelby, locates Melis to get her to show him the map and join him in searching for the city. While she is reluctantly considering this, an evil crime lord, Archer, is also looking for the city. He knows a secret about Marinth that would make him far wealthier than all the jewelry and artifacts reported to be in Marinth. As Kelby gets closer to the location of Marinth, he and Melis fall in love (not without some tension of course), Archer docks his huge yacht a couple of miles from Kelby, and the dolphins find some new friends. At this point it's hard to put the book down. Will Archer sabotage Kelby's plans? Will he hurt the dolphins? Will Kelby and Melis stay in love? Will they get to Marinth before Archer? Will the dolphins return from their play with their newfound friends to help Kelby and Melis locate the lost city? A very good snack food that delivers what it promises.
