"The Girl in the Box" marries the sumptuousness of a dream vacation with the horrors that lurk around the bend. Bestselling author Gay Courter's attention to detail has the reader rocking along with the waves and smelling the pungent salt air as Dale Lane-her fictional bestselling writer turns sleuth to find who murdered Tatiana-the young and vulnerable contortionist. This smart, taut thriller has everything: a loveable heroine with a tragic past, a searing view of unbridled lust, a complicated woman whose life has been manipulated since birth, perplexing forensic clues, and an urgency to find the killer before the ship reaches land. As Courter weaves together the true and the imagined, we share the breathtaking anxieties of a potential killer on the loose.
