Publisher Description
When Edgar Freemantle moves to the remote island of Duma Key to escape his past, he doesn't expect to find much there.
But Duma has been waiting for him, and something in the view from his window urges him to discover a talent he never knew he had.
Edgar Freemantle begins to paint. And as he paints, the island's secrets begin to stir. Secrets of children lost in the undertow, of a ghost ship riding the distant horizon - and a family's buried past reaching long hands into the present.

Descent into darkness
Some classic King here. Takes a while to get going, but once his storytelling starts rolling it becomes compulsive.
It is a pretty bleak sort of a tale, not much redemption to be found, although the little snapshots of humorous dialogue between characters does serve to alleviate the grimness. Did I enjoy it? No. Did I want to read it till the end? Hell yes. Thanks Mr King for another mind bending story sprinkled with a good dollop of nightmare crumbs
