On the fifth anniversary of his wife's death, birthday balloons
snag Slater Watts 15th-story office window, freed when a killer
knifes a mother in an alley. Watts can't save her, and a woman dies
in his arms yet again on July 2. Watts, a journalist, who's sick of
Atlanta, crime, his job, and memories of his wife's death, sees the
balloons as a wake-up call and decides to quit his job. But his
editor, a treacherous paraplegic gives him the most exciting
assignment he's ever had, literally changing his life. Watts's
mission? Go to lawless, wild Forbidden Island off the Georgia-South
Carolina coast and profile a murderous voodoo priest who rules the
island like a god. Watts, accepts the assignment and embarks on a
suicide mission. A haunted man, Watts sees the assignment as a
chance to get the voodoo priest to break his dying daughter's coma.
Fate intervenes when Watts meets Tyler Hill, a woman with dark
secrets who believes her runaway daughter lives on Forbidden
Island. Hill convinces Watts to take her to the island, and her
mission supplants his, threatening his last chance to save his
daughter. And then Watts and Hill make a horrifying discovery that
threatens everything and redemption or destruction for all-even the
island-hangs in the balance. Love, dark secrets, carnage, unrivaled
beauty, and a do-or-die mission to save what's left of family await
readers of Forbidden Island whose phosphorescent sea, majestic
dunes, green marshes, and star-filled heavens will long haunt them.
