I
magine hurricane winds over the Sahara Desert, preceded by
a cavalry of
tornadoes. Imagine dunes flattened, then resculpted. Then
imagine all
that at the bottom of the sea.
A Category Four
hurricane
has swept the west coast of Florida, creating havoc,
changing lives,
and reshaping the ocean bottom. Well-known reefs and wrecks
have been
covered up-and new ones have emerged. The old woman who
visits Doc
Ford's lab late one night has a haunting story, of a loved
one lost
while rendezvousing with a German submarine off the coast
of Florida
sixty years earlier, of her belief that he was being
blackmailed and
that the storm has given her a second chance to prove his
innocence by
uncovering the wreck of his boat-and the truth-if only Ford
would look
for it. Intrigued, Ford agrees, and sets in motion a chain
of events
that will change his life forever. For there are other
things in that
wreck as well, and other men want those things, men willing
to commit
terrible acts to get them. And the woman herself-the woman
is not what
she seems. . . .
Rich with passion and vivid,
pungent prose, and some of the best characters found in
suspense fiction today, Dark Light is a thriller of
uncommon intensity.
