The Starfire Breeze steams its way north toward the Gulf of Alaska,
buffeted by crisp sea winds blowing down from the Arctic. Those on board
are seeking peace, relaxation, adventure, escape. But there is no escape
in this place of unspoiled natural majesty. Because terror strolls the
decks even in the brilliant light of day . . . and death is a
conspicuous, unwelcome passenger. Former Seattle policeman J.P.
Beaumont--a damaged homicide detective who has come here to heal from
fresh, stinging wounds--will find that the grim ghosts pursuing him were
not left behind . . . as a pleasure cruise gone horribly wrong carries
him into lethal, ever-darkening waters.
