Publisher Description
This suspenseful page-turner from the Edgar Award nominated author, T.J. MacGregor will appeal to fans of Dean Koontz, a psychic travels through the darkest passages of the unknown to apprehend a psychopath who has abducted her daughter. As the sun sets on a deserted Florida beach, a desperate man prepares to take his next victim. The young girl seems just the right age to survive the journey through the black water. And if she doesn't, she'll end up like all the others. It's been a beautiful day for psychic Mira Morales and her daughter, Annie. So why does she feel a growing unease about the smiling man walking calmly toward them on the deserted beach...a chilly warning that he is not to be trusted, but feared above all else. For years, children have been disappearing without a trace in the Florida Keys. And no one, not even the FBI, has suspected that it could be the work of a single twisted psychopath. Now, with her daughter gone--abducted by a killer consumed by a desire to change his past and his future--one mother will do whatever it takes to find her child, even if it means following her through the darkest passages of the unknown, to a place where each choice has terrifying consequences no one can possibly foresee.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fans of the Twilight Zone should relish MacGregor's newest offering (after Out of Sight); reading this spine-tingling suspense novel is like spiraling headfirst into the most disturbing episode ever aired. As Mira Morales and her teenage daughter, Annie, prepare to return via motorboat to their home in the Florida Keys, Mira is knocked unconscious and Annie is kidnapped. After regaining consciousness, the psychic Mira tries to locate her daughter, but when her boat glides through Florida's "black water," she travels back in time to 1968. Meanwhile, Annie's kidnapper, the germaphobic Patrick Wheaton, drags her through the same "corridor." Through the investigative work of FBI agent Wayne Sheppard and the psychic bond that Mira and her grandmother Nadine share, the reasons behind Wheaton's actions unfold, and the story becomes even more unsettling. The constant shift between the past and present may confuse readers, especially as events unfolding in the past begin to affect the present. Though some may find the book's paranormal elements hard to swallow, MacGregor skillfully builds the tension to a heart-pounding conclusion.
