| | | Since the death of her husband, Anne Dunne and her three children have struggled in every way. In an effort to save the family, Anne plans an elaborate sailing vacation--a trip that takes fans of "Lost" and "Survivor" to a new level of terror.
Annotation:
Master of the thriller, James Patterson crafts another fast-paced spine tingler with SAIL. A recently widowed mother of three is trying to heal her family with a grand sailing vacation. They set out for what is supposed to be an exciting adventure, only to have the family unit fall into even greater disrepair. One child isn't speaking, another is suicidal, another has turned to drugs, and the mother struggles to hold things together. Then Patterson suddenly throws in one of this trademark twists, making for a truly chilling, engrossing read.
| Author Bio| James Patterson | | James Patterson grew up in Newburgh, New York, 50 miles north of New York City. Valedictorian of his class at the Christian Brothers school, St. Patrick's, in 1965, Patterson graduated from Manhattan College with a degree in English. He first entertained the idea of becoming a writer in 1971 when he worked as a college student in a mental institution, a job that afforded him abundant time to read. He came up with the idea for his first novel during that time, and five years later, after 26 rejection slips, his first effort, "The Thomas Berryman Number", appeared in bookstores. Since that time, Patterson has written numerous best-selling thrillers featuring the sensitive, modern-day hero Alex Cross, including "Kiss the Girls", which was made into a major motion picture starring Morgan Freeman. |
