THE ISLAND
Set between a remote island in Australia and Seattle, Washington, THE ISLAND tells the story of an ordinary woman who must make an extraordinary choice when a family vacation turns deadly.
For newly-married Heather Baxter, a trip to Australia with her doctor husband, Tom, and his two teens, Olivia and Owen, is a dream come true. Heather's never traveled outside of the US before. And she's been struggling to connect with her new step-children. But as on any family vacation, little goes as planned - the weather is too hot, the kids soon bored, and the promised koalas nowhere to be seen.
So when a chance encounter with two locals garners an invite to Dutch Island, a private enclave where wildlife thrives, Tom ponies up for the ferry tickets. One hour off the grid; isn't that the adventure they all need? But Dutch Island is private for a reason. When their visit leads to a horrific accident, Heather must make a decision that changes everything. Soon they are on the run for their lives.
Propulsive, terrifying, and blade-sharp, The Island is the next thrilling adventure from the mastermind behind the award-winning global sensation The Chain, and a family story unlike any you've read yet.
Adrian McKinty was born and grew up in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland. He studied philosophy at Oxford University on a full scholarship before immigrating to the United States. He is the author of the instant New York Times bestseller The Chain, as well as a dozen crime novels that have won the Edgar Award, Ned Kelly Award, Barry Award, Macavity Award, and Anthony Award and have been translated into more than twenty languages. He is a book critic for the Sydney Morning Herald, the Irish Times, and The Guardian. He currently lives in New York with his wife and two daughters.
