Another master class in horror from James Herbert
The shadow of the past was always with him, but he never knew what it was, or when it would strike next. Sent to a small coastal town to investigate drug smuggling, Kelso stumbles on a dangerous organization, and suddenly more than just his life is at stake—it's his past, his future, and his sanity. Through torture and drugs he discovers the terrifying secret of the Jonah, and he also learns in the most horrifying way that it can destroy him as well as others.
