Product Description:
When both your past and future spell fear.
Award-winning author Stuart Woods has crafted a masterful novel no reader will soon forget. For years, Liz Barwick has been battered by her brutal husband, a famous pro football player. This time it takes an emergency room to keep her from death. Now, the beautiful and talented photographer retreats to an island paradise off Georgia's coast to find solitude--and herself.
As she becomes increasingly involved with the strange and handsome twin scions of the powerful Drummond family, she feels her traumatic memories begin to fade. But when a killer launches a series of gruesome murders, Liz discovers that there is no place to hide--not even in her lover's arms.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Things I didn't like.
I found the dialogue laughable when Mr. Woods didn't intend it to be. The climax lasted about two pages. I figured out the "secret" of the twins before I was halfway through the book. There was so much fluff in this book that had nothing to do with the central plot that at the end I felt like I had been snookered into reading 300+ pages for a plot that actually took up maybe 50 pages. It took a willing suspension of disbelief to believe the villian turned into a vicious serial killer simply because ... Read More
Rating:  - Enticing
An all-too-common story of an abused wife, married to a football star. After her divorce, Liz escaped to Cumberland Island off the coast of Georgia. She gets tangled up with an eccentric old man who owns the island and his family who are strange in a provocative way. As the plot thickens, her abusive ex-husband finds her, but the story takes a twisted turn with her new founded family.

Rating: - Read Chief's by Stuart Woods instead.
I can't imagine anyone giving this book 5 stars, or even 4 for that matter. The plots were unbelievable. The characters were unbelievable. The writing was mediocre at best. I found the book to be a waste of time. I did finish it, thinking it would get better, but it never did. No one gets away with murder so easily, and it insulted my intelligence. No one runs around in a Tarzan suit either. Give me a break. Read Chief's instead by Stuart Woods.
Rating:  - Fast Read
Although I love Stuart Wood's Stone Barrington novels, I must admit that once in awhile I like to read his other books that are based on different characters. This book was one of the fastest, most thrilling books I have read in a long time.
It focuses on Liz who is nearly beaten and raped to death by her husband who happens to be a famous football player who is drugged out on steroid and drugs. This books gives a creepy description of what steroids can do to an average person. Anyways, ... Read More
Rating: - Keeps you guessing!
I've read many of Stuart Woods books and enjoyed them very much. Palidrome was more than that though. Some friends and I shared a library copy of the unabridged recording of this book on our shift at work. Why do I mention this? Well, it's simple. This book was amazing! We were left spellbound as a group, each of us poking and proding each other all night as things developed in this story. The story is emotional as we were along on this journey with these characters. So many twists and turns left ... Read More
