No one ever believes their dream vacation can instantly turn into a
tragic nightmare...until it's too late. Some tourists vanish
without a trace. Over 170 people have disappeared from cruise ships
around the world since 1995, several under very suspicious
circumstances. Others have their lives senselessly stolen, like the
8-year old boy sucked into an unprotected pool drain at a major
resort, leaving his mother crying out his name as security staff
held her at gunpoint. Or 22-year old Nolan Webster, denied proper
medical care after being pulled unconscious from a Cancun resort
pool, only to have his dead body left in plain view for hours and
his parents billed for his room. Vacations are meant to be joyous
and fun. Sometimes terrible things happen unexpectedly. A
parasailing newlywed plummets hundreds of feet to her death on the
last day of her honeymoon when her harness snaps in mid-air. Hikers
make a fatal plunge on an improperly-marked Kauai ciffside trail.
And of course, there's every mother's nightmare: the disappearance
of Natalee Holloway while on a high school graduation trip to Aruba
with members of her senior class. FATAL SUNSET, the latest expose
from award-winning and bestselling author Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff is
not meant to do for vacations what "Jaws" did for beaches. "I'm not
trying to scare you from going on a trip. I'm revealing these
hidden true stories in order to make sure you understand what
danger lurks in between the sun and sand and that perfect getaway,"
explains Nemcoff, the writer behind Kindle bestsellers "The Death
of Osama Bin Laden" and "Where's My F*cking Latte?," an insiders
look at the world of Hollywood celebrity assistants that was not
only featured on Access Hollywood but has spent over four years
straight at the top of Amazon's top-selling chart in the categories
of "Television" and "Movies." "Sometimes travelers put themselves
into situations beyond their limitations or worse, beyond their
control," says Nemcoff. "People on vacation tend to engage in
riskier activities than they are normally used to. Sometimes things
can instantly turn deadly because you made a bad decision or were
in the wrong place at the wrong time." In addition to FATAL
SUNSET's shocking stories of deadly shark attacks, drownings,
suspicious encounters, unfortunate accidents and murder, there is
one part of the book that still haunts Nemcoff. "I interviewed
Nolan Webster's mom, Maureen. In the book she explains what it was
like to get that terrible phone call about her son's death. It's
something I think about every day." "There's one piece of advice
I've learned researching this book," tells Nemcoff. "Dare to be
aware."
