A high-stakes treasure hunt...a twisted trail of murder...a secret one woman may die to discover...
Melis Nemid is treading in dangerous waters -and she’s about to be dragged under. As a marine researcher, Melis knows all too well the dangers that can lurk under even the calmest surfaces. But not even she can guess how deep the darkness runs. Only one oceanographer ever came close to discovering the deadly mystery that lies beneath the sea - and he seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Now Melis is the last one who knows the truth. And someone is determined that the truth will die with her.
For what Melis knows about the deep-sea mystery is only part of a nightmarish past torn by violence. She thought she had put that past behind her when she arrived at her Caribbean island home to research dolphin behavior.
But her peace - and her life - is about to be shattered by the arrival of a savage killer. Someone - for reasons unknown even to Melis - is cutting a path of destruction and death that leads directly to her.Only one man can save her - a man who claims to be a fellow oceanographer. He will seek to gain Melis’s trust, getting close to her secret and her life. But what this enigmatic man really wants, Melis may not discover until it’s too late. Because whoever is after her knows her nightmares intimately, and soon she will be forced to relive them all over again. Except for the final nightmare. The one she can’t possibly survive.

Iris Johansen always writes a good suspense novel, although this isn't as good as the others I've read. And there was a twist at the end I didn't really see coming, although I suspected it in the beginning. The dolphins added a nice aspect to the story, though.
Headed to MsPooh on 11/18.
Cool. Thanks!!
Again, Ms Johansen writes a pretty suspenseful novel. It seemed kinda hard for me to get into first, as it did not grab a hold of me like usual. Not as good as most I have read by her. The best part to the whole story was Pete and Susie...
