The shadow of the past was always with him. But he never knew what it was, or when it would strike next. In James Herbert's The Jonah, detective Jim Kelso is sent to a small coastal town to investigate drug smuggling, and stumbles on a dangerous organization. Suddenly more than just his life is at stake: it's his past, his future, and his sanity. Through torture and drugs, he discovers the terrifying secret of The Jonah--and learns, in the most horrifying way, that it can destroy him as well as others.
