Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Private investigators Quin St. James and Mike McCleary set out to rough it in the Florida Everglades only to have their weekend adventure escalate rapidly into a nightmarish struggle for survival. The trip begins on a wretched note as estranged spouses Quin and Mike, with their friends Lydia and Beau Nichols, paddle through seemingly endless rain to reach a vacant campsite. But it's not quite empty, as Lydia discovers when she stumbles over a pair of corpses. Shaken, the group settles in for the night, but only briefly: the two murderers and their son, who have returned to hide the bodies, take the four friends prisoner. They escape their captors, but in the melee, the son--who carries a spear--falls on his own weapon and is killed. Quin and her companions soon realize they are tracked not just by the enraged parents, but by their entire vengeful and sadistic clan: glades dwellers who, during almost a century of isolation and inbreeding, have all but become part of this swampy grassland they haunt. MacGregor's ( On Ice ) extended chase is not for those of faint heart or weak stomach.

Product Description
The trip was against Quin St. James's better judgment. But for her, the camping expedition deep into the heart of the Florida Everglades was a kind of penance, a shot at reconciliation with her estranged husband and investigative partner Mike McCleary. And it wasn't as if they'd be stuck with each other. Along for the trek were their friends, Lydia and Beau Nichols.
But the Glades features an added attraction not found in the guidebooks. In a wilderness where nothing human is supposed to live dwells a band of modern savages. Twisted by decades of isolation, their blunt suspicion and blistering hatred is set to explode when one of their own has an unexpected confrontation with the visitors from civilization . . . .

Good Book!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kin Dread (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a really good book, it's the first T.J. MacGregor book I ever read which was about 2 months ago and now I've read every book by her - she's great!!! If your a fan of Dean Koontz you'll love her books. This one is unique and interesting and lets not forget full of suspense and spooky people living in the glades... if anyone thought the glades were a little freaky before you haven't seen nothing yet!! It's also full of information about the glades, I feel like I've been there when I've never even been to Florida!:) Mike and Quin are awesome too, very likeable! I would recomend this book to anyone who likes edge of your seat thrillers, it's a great read and one that will stay with me forever!! I also recomend all of T.J. MacGregor's books - she knows how to write awesome stories!!Enjoy!:)
