Lovecraft, was an American writer who achieved posthumous acclaim for his outstanding and influential works of horror fiction."Pickman's Model" is the story of a bizarre painter who has an uncanny genius for painting terrifying, hellish creatures which are extraordinarily lifelike. Indeed, the rendition is so amazing that it seems inconceivable that they could have been painted from anything but a real-life model. But of course that could never be...surely....

    In the middle of dead calm seas, Chase witnesses a plane crash 
    The lone survivor is soon targeted by dangerous foes. 
    Can Chase keep her safe long enough to find who is trying to kill her? 
    "Devil Water is a page-turning thriller that drew me in from word one. It is certainly action all the way, but never skips Douglas' wonderful descriptions of the colourful destinations around the Caribbean and Central America."

    A novel of adventure, survival, and psychological suspense with “a surprise ending worthy of Hitchcock” (Publishers Weekly). 
     
    Legend in the academic world has it that Dr. Matthew Prendel, an expert sailor, had been shipwrecked years ago. His boat was attacked by pirates. He survived thanks to an incredible stroke of luck while his entire crew perished, but then found himself embroiled in a ferocious fight for survival between two castaways on a desert island. There, too, he was lucky and came out the victor. 
     
    But perhaps luck played no part in it. Perhaps something darker was at play, something bigger at stake. The only sure thing is that Matthew Prendel disappeared for five whole years. He has been back in New York now for a while, or so they say. One should never rely entirely on hearsay . . . 
     
    A blend of adventure story and noir mystery, The Island of Last Truth is a riveting tale filled with both suspense and incisive psychological observation.
