"Landon Beach is the real deal. And The Sail is a top-notch thriller with suspense to burn " - Ted Bell, Author, NY Times Bestselling Alex Hawke SeriesAs a picturesque and perfect summer arrives in Michigan, a father and son prepare to sail around Lake Superior, one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world. It is a trip three years in the making and filled with planned stops for wreck diving, camping, and hiking. The water is deep, the wind is just right, and the sunsets are sublime. However, there is also a reason that the majority of the Superior coastline is referred to as remote. When you are far away from home and help, you only have yourself to count on when danger approaches. And for Robin and Tristian Norris, what they find will be a nightmare. It isn't a question of will they survive, but who will survive? Grab a lifejacket and find something or someone to hold on to, it's time to go sailing."Action, intrigue, and high stakes drama - just what you want from a thriller. Toss in a little lust and greed, and it's the perfect mix for a classic, on-the-run adventure."- Steve Berry, New York Times and #1 Internationally Bestselling Author

A mother and her three children struggle to survive on the most shocking vacation of their lives. James Patterson, America's #1 bestselling thriller writer, presents his most suspenseful, explosive tale ever. Only an hour out of port, the Dunne family's summer getaway to paradise is already turning into the trip from hell. The three children are miserable, and not shy about showing it. Katherine Dunne had hoped this vacation would bring back the togetherness they'd lost when her husband died four years earlier. Maybe if her new husband had joined them it would all have been okay. Suddenly, a disaster hits-and it's perfect. Faced with this real threat, the Dunnes rediscover the meaning of family. But this catastrophe is just a tiny taste of the true danger that lurks ahead: somewhere out there, someone wants to make sure that the Dunne family never leaves paradise alive.
