In the shifting sun and shade of Key Largo, Thorn had made a home, tying bonefish flies and making love to a woman he barely knew. Then a call came from Miami - his best friend, Sugarman, was fighting for his life. Sugar had taken a security job with the owner of the M.S. Eclipse, when he was attacked by a madman who came at him with a knife in one hand and 400,000 volts of electricity in the other. Racing to his friend's side, Thorn arrives in Miami to find a bizarre mystery of extortion and violence swirling around Morton Sampson, the cruise line magnate whose casino ships make him a fortune but whose empire may be on the brink of collapse. Now, as Sugarman recovers, the Eclipse suddenly falls under the madman's command, and he's killing off passengers one by one, defying anyone to stop him from decimating the entire ship - and more.While Thorn stalks his quarry in a nerve-shattering game of cat and mouse, two dark family dramas unwind around him. The lovely, long-missing daughter of Morton Sampson has reappeared and entered Thorn's life. As she plays her own pivotal role in the ship's fate, a shocking layer of deception is revealed. And against a backdrop of terror and betrayal, two very different brothers are locked in a struggle of near-mythic proportions, while the woman who bore them plays her own dangerous game.
