When Thorn decides to investigate the brutilization and murder of a dozen dolphins in a Key Largo research center, he is beaten within an inch of his life and left paralyzed from the waist down.

Forced to check into a state-of-the-art pain clinic run by a childhood friend from Key West, Thorn soon discovers some disturbing experiments being run on handicapped Army veterans. Even more disturbing, these experiments are somehow linked to the disappearance of a female DEA agent. As the narrative gains momentum, Thorn begins to realize that his own paralysis is not the accident he thought, but rather the work of an enemy from long ago out to seek his own form of sinister justice. Before he can begin to stop it, Thorn finds himself the target of this man's deadly expermients to cure his own pain.

Written in his hallmark style, James W. Hall wows readers once again with razor sharp plotting, masterful pacing and breathtaking suspense. "Red Sky At Night" is sure to be a paperback bestseller.
