The Web — Jonathan Kellerman

Three months in paradise, all expenses paid. It's an invitation Dr. Alex Delaware cannot refuse. Revered scientist Dr. Woodrow Wilson Moreland has invited Alex to a remote Pacific island to help him organize his papers for publication.

Yet the pleasures of sea and sand are quickly eclipsed by the disturbing presence of Dr. Moreland himself. The bizarre seemingly unrelated cases he chooses to share, including the recent murder of a young woman, lead Alex to wonder what the good doctor is trying to tell him -- and what the real motive for inviting him to the island is. But when Alex discovers the shocking truth, it is too late to stem the tide of violence that threatens innocent and guilty alike on this lovely lost island.
