A giant resort developer is using its political muscle and deep pockets to claim ownership of a deserted island between Florida and Georgia. Only the last living inhabitant of the island, Lovely Jackson, stands in its way. What the developer doesn’t know is that the island has a remarkable history, and locals believe it is cursed – and the past is never the past.

Description

Following John Grisham’s international bestsellers, Camino Island and Camino Winds, Camino Ghosts is the story of an island off the Florida coast with a haunted, violent history and an uncertain future.

Dark Isle is said to be cursed: drownings, disappearances and hauntings have been the fate of intruders. It was settled by freed slaves 300 years ago, and their descendants lived there until 1955, when the last one was forced to leave. Now abandoned, it is the target of greedy developers.

Lovely Jackson is the last survivor of Dark Isle and claims to be its legal owner. But there is not a shred of evidence to prove that is true.

It’s unlikely that the developers will be deterred by the claims of one old woman. They have millions; Lovely only has Steven Mahon, a pro bono environmental lawyer, and Mercer Mann, a floundering novelist, to fight in her corner.

With the court case looming and the bulldozers waiting to roll in, Steven and Mercer are in a race against time to unearth the truth behind Lovely’s story and, together, save the legacy of the island.
