An
orphan
and
a
bastard,
Jamie
Sommers
grew
up
knowing
he
had
no
hope
of
heaven.
Conceived
in
adultery
and
born
in
sin,
Jamie
was
destined
to
repeat
the
sins
of
his
parents--or
so
the
nuns
told
him.
And
he
proved
them
right.
Taking
to
sea,
Jamie
sought
out
danger
and
adventure
in
exotic
ports
all
over
the
world
as
a
smuggler,
gunrunner--and
murderer.
Tough
enough
to
handle
anything,
he's
survived
foreign
prisons,
pirates,
and
a
shark
attack.
But
in
a
quiet
seaside
town
in
Delaware,
Jamie
discovered
something
that
was
enough
to
drive
him
insane-and
change
his
life
forever.
For
it
was
in
Hawkes
Harbor
that
Jamie
came
face
to
face
with
the
ultimate
evil....
