That last descendant is Lovely Jackson, elderly now, who loves her birthplace and its remarkable history.

It has remained uninhabited for nearly a century for some very real and very troubling reasons. The deep secrets of the past are about to collide with the enormous ambitions of the present, and the fate of Dark Isle-and Camino Island, too-hangs in the balance.Look for all of John Grisham's rollicking Camino novels:Camino IslandCamino WindsCamino Ghosts
