The brutal, unsolved murder of Donny Hayes was the bait that attracted best-selling author, John Ravenscroft, to beautiful and dangerous Tierra Isle. The lure was perfect-an unsolved murder in a small community, complete with larger than life characters-the exact formula for a Ravenscroft novel. But, deep down, Ravenscroft knew there was another, altogether more sinister force drawing him to Florida's Gulf coast, something he was born to confront. The seven people named in the strange book given to him by the fortune-teller were pieces in a puzzle that would lead him to his destiny. The journey would be terrifying and the consequences of failure unimaginable.
