According to Uncle Jacob, David Brock was a born failure. While his cousin, Eric, rose to the top of his class at West Point, David grew his hair, did any drugs he could lay his hands on, and waited passively for a revolution that never came.

Eric died a hero in Vietnam. But David, having dodged the draft, spun out his life on a remote Canadian island, flying kites and watching the days drift past.

With the sudden death of his uncle, David, as the only surviving member of the great Brock family, finds himself temporarily in control of a multi-national conglomerate, whose headquarters are situated in a decaying luxury hotel in Bermuda called Whisperland.

The mystery surrounding this unexpected inheritance is nothing compared with the mystery of Whisperland itself. David Brock knows all about living with the ghosts of the past, but he could never imagine how they might come to haunt him.

Ingenious, provocative, sinister, Christopher Hyde's thriller probes into secrets that have lain hidden for more than half a century.
