From Publishers Weekly In this swift romantic thriller from bestseller Heather Graham, diver Genevieve Wallace becomes embroiled in a mystery after she sees the body of a woman floating 50 feet below the ocean's surface, reaching out with dead hands. Gen is a member of a Florida Keys diving team searching for the wreckage of the Marie Josephine, a 19th-century ship rumored to carry a pirate cache. Gen is the only one to see the body, and fellow diver Thor Thompson doesn't trust her. His reluctance to work with her, however, gives way when their attraction sparks a steamy affair. Thor refuses to believe Gen's sighting until he wakes to find seawater inexplicably soaking into Gen's bedclothes and floor. When a different woman's body washes ashore, and evidence indicates there's a killer on the loose, the paranormal craftily collides with reality, and the meaning behind Gen's vision begins to come into focus. Graham's rich, balanced thriller sizzles with equal parts suspense, romance and the paranormal"all of it nail-biting. (July) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

From Booklist When two groups of divers unite for a salvage operation off the Florida Keys, activities are thwarted first by Genevieve's sighting of something she thinks is a female ghost, then by a woman's corpse. The director of the operation, Thor Thompson, cannot deny his growing attraction for Genevieve, but he, like the others, does not believe her until the ghosts haunting the area make their presence felt to all. In the meantime, dead bodies keep piling up until the divers realize that there's a serial killer is in their midst. Just about everyone comes under suspicion until the real killer is revealed in a predictably dramatic ending where he captures Genevieve, who is rescued by Thor, and the ghosts step in. A bit slow and creaky, this isn't Graham's best, but that won't faze her many fans. Mary K. Chelton
