The acclaimed bestselling author and king of psychological suspense gets
a whole new chance to thrill, as Jonathan Kellerman's The Web makes
its graphic novel debut.
After a narrow escape from his burning house, psychologist Dr. Alex
Delaware is ready for a relaxing getaway. And revered scientist Dr.
Woodrow Wilson Moreland has just the ticket for Alex and his girlfriend,
Robin Castagna: an all-expenses-paid vacation to a Pacific island
retreat. It won't all be fun in the sun, however. But helping Dr.
Moreland prepare his fascinating case files for publication is business
Alex is happy to mix with pleasure.
Unfortunately, pleasure is in short supply on the remote island of Aruk,
with its dark history hanging heavy in the tropical air. Though reports
of a bloody native uprising and mutants haunting the jungle may be
rumors, the brutal, unsolved murder of a young woman is very real. So is
the bad vibe Alex and Robin get from a battling pair of married
scientists, a scandal-hunting writer, a duo of menacing beach bums, and
a politician with a hidden agenda. Not to mention their enigmatic host,
a man being eaten alive by secrets. As another savage murder stuns the
island, a dangerous storm closes in . . . and so does the conspiracy
consuming Aruk like a strangling vine. With no one to trust but each
other, Alex and Robin must track down the hellish truth beneath a lost
paradise--before the blue Pacific waters run red with more spilled
blood.
Once again, scripter Ande Parks--acclaimed author of Union Station,
Capote in Kansas, and the Jonathan Kellerman graphic adaptation
Silent Partner--teams with major Marvel and DC illustrator Michael
Gaydos to bring the laureate of L.A. mystery fiction to edgy, intense
new life on the page.
