Book Description:
A slice of paradise in the turquoise waters of southern Florida, the island is a lush, breathtaking sanctuary. Few can resist its allure, or its primitive beauty -- but fewer still know its secrets.

On a weekend vacation with her brother and niece, Beth Anderson is unnerved when a stroll on the beach reveals what appears to be a skull, and instantly recalls the retired couple who disappeared off the island's coast a few months earlier. As a stranger approaches, Beth panics and covers the evidence. But when she later returns to the beach, the skull is gone.

With only her niece as a witness, there is no proof of foul play for Beth to bring to the authorities. To her brother, the missing skull is just a good story to tell at an island bonfire and campout that night. The tale is heard by an eager group of vacationers -- including charismatic Keith Henson, the stranger from the beach. Everyone dismisses the events as the product of an overactive imagination, but when Beth hears someone outside her tent, she instinctively knows her fears are justified.

Determined to find solid evidence to bring to the police, Beth digs deeper into the mystery of the skull -- and everywhere she goes, Keith Henson seems to appear. He claims to be keeping an eye on her safety, but Beth senses other motives. Then a body washes ashore, and Beth begins to think she needs more help than she bargained for. Because investigating is a dangerous game, and someone wants to stop Beth from playing.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Lots of good characters, murders, and romance. A story set in Florida involving divers, treasure, boats and a good mystery.

Easy, fast paced action, bit of romance thrown in and a twist at the end.

Not as predictable as her other books. Had a few nice twists and was a very fast, enjoyable read.

As usual a very good Graham book.

I did not like this book. I thought it would be more suspenseful, but found that it reminded me a lot of a romance novel. If you are into romance and suspense, you may like this better than I did. I didn't even finish it because I did not enjoy it.

About this title: Leslie Kloslosky didn't believe her friends's premonition that she'd meet the perfect man on her vacation in England--right up to the instant a tall, dark stranger entered the cramped elevator and lit a fire in her blood! Mike Smith wasn't about to let Leslie out of his life . . . but would he be clever enough to elude a pair of thieves hot on their trail?
