SERPENTS IN EDEN BY ROBERT LEADER THEY WERE SHIP-WRECKED IN PARADISE - BUT PARADISE HID A TERRIBLE SECRET A romantic second honeymoon cruising around the paradise islands of the South pacific had seemed the perfect cure for a failing marriage. But for Nicola and Greg Conway it hadn't worked and a freak storm and sudden shipwreck with enigmatic skipper Jack Baker was not part of their plan. They were washed up on to a tropical island occupied by a small religious community. The Children of New Eden lived a seemingly idyllic existence but were shrouded in mystery. Why had the cult fled from California, and why was the small community graveyard filled with a disproportionate number of little girls. Soon Nicola begins to wonder if their presence here was entirely by chance, for it seems that Jack Baker has his own agenda. As the tensions heighten and the mysteries deepen the malevolent presence of an ancient stone idol watches over them from a forbidden cliff top temple site high above the beach.
