About this ebook

A mother and her three children struggle to survive on the most shocking vacation of their lives.
James Patterson, America's #1 bestselling thriller writer, presents his most suspenseful, explosive tale ever. Only an hour out of port, the Dunne family's summer getaway to paradise is already turning into the trip from hell. The three children are miserable, and not shy about showing it. Katherine Dunne had hoped this vacation would bring back the togetherness they'd lost when her husband died four years earlier. Maybe if her new husband had joined them it would all have been okay.
Suddenly, a disaster hits-and it's perfect. Faced with this real threat, the Dunnes rediscover the meaning of family. But this catastrophe is just a tiny taste of the true danger that lurks ahead: somewhere out there, someone wants to make sure that the Dunne family never leaves paradise alive.

Ratings and reviews

The book was great, I could barely put it down. It sucks you in and keeps you there until the bittersweet end. I was displeased when J.P. killed a certain character but these things happen. Just a side note, the main character's name is Katherine, not Anne as stated in the description- my ocd at work!

Great book, just not my patterson cup of tea, swimsuit definitely gets 5 starts though

Thought it was supposed to be 400 pages instead it was only 163 pages! Felt like a lot of book was missing
