Alex Delaware Thriller: The Web

Meer over het boek

Psychologist-detective Dr. Alex Delaware receives an enticing invitation for a three-month stay on the idyllic Pacific island of Aruk, where he is to assist the esteemed Dr. Woodrow Wilson Moreland in organizing his papers. With the promise of a light workload, Alex looks forward to enjoying the island's beauty alongside his romantic interest, Robin Castagna. However, the allure of paradise quickly fades as strange houseguests, unsettling nighttime occurrences, and the mysterious Dr. Moreland overshadow his stay. The cases Moreland reveals—a patient driven to madness, a man who suffered from radiation poisoning after a nuclear blast, and a young woman found brutally murdered—seem unrelated, yet Alex suspects a deeper connection. As he investigates, with assistance from LAPD detective Milo Sturgis, he begins to unravel a web of secrets hidden within Moreland's estate. The shocking truth he uncovers will come too late to prevent the impending violence that looms over the island, threatening both the guilty and the innocent. With masterful characterizations and a gripping pace, the author explores real-life horrors and deep-seated fears, creating a suspenseful narrative that captivates from beginning to end.
