Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML: Time is running out for Jolene. She's trapped by a madman, held captive, naked, waiting only for her worst nightmares to become reality. Her captor will keep her alive for twenty-eight days, hidden in an underwater city 400 feet below the surface. Then she will die horribly-like the others...Jolene's only hope is Richard Dahlgren, a private underwater crime scene investigator. He has until the next full moon before Jolene becomes just another hideous trophy in the killer's surreal underwater lair. But Dahlgren has never handled a case where the victim is still alive. And the killer has never allowed a victim to escape. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Against his better judgment, Richard "Don't-Call-Me-Dick" Dahlgren (possibly the world's only underwater forensic investigator) gets caught up in the hunt for the killer and quest to free the latest victim from her underwater prison. The dangers of diving in a labyrinth of tunnels at up to four-hundred-foot depths are amplified by Dahlgren's haunting memories of a decade-old cave-diving accident that claimed his first love.
In addition to the original concept and setting, the author uses his knowledge of scuba diving and technology to maintain the believability of the somewhat far-fetched plot. He also focuses more on the beauty of the underwater setting than on the hateful violence dispensed by the killer. My only criticisms are that the scientific scuba details were a bit overwhelming and esoteric at times and that the author seemed to rush through some of the key action sequences building to the climax.
But all in all, this was a fascinating novel with beautiful imagery that will play as well on the big screen as it does on the page.
