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.
