Aprašymas

From Bram Stoker Award-winning author Nancy Holder comes a chilling novel of horror on the sea. This is how it will be when you drown. . . .

At a sun-washed dock in Long Beach, California, the creaky freighter, Morris, loaded with brightly colored boxcars, takes on passengers. Among the vacationers: a disgruntled yuppie couple, a child stricken by cancer, a woman searching for her lost husband, and a female cop packing a .38 and bitter memories of a boy who drowned before her eyes.

In seas of love and blood they will drown, one at a time. And for their company, they will have those who have drowned before them--and those who have received a message in a bottle. . . .
