My Review

Stephen King has done it again. His character Edgar Freemantle is thrown off balance by an accident where he loses his arm. His life falls to pieces and he finally moves to Duma Key. Here in Florida, Duma Key is where out-of-season hurricanes tear lives apart and a powerful undertow lures lost and tormented souls. Freemantle is inspired to paint the amazing sunsets and soon starts to investigate the history and secrets of the house he lives in.

This great book will finally also be available as downloadable audio book, like so many other of Stephen King's novels:

The best line ever:

Edgar's psychologist, Dr. Kamen: "Edgar, does anything make you happy?" Edgar Freemantle: "I used to sketch."
Dr. Kamen: "Take it up again. You need hedges... hedges against the night."
