A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

DUMA KEY is the engaging, fascinating story of a man who discovers an incredible talent for painting after a freak accident in which he loses an arm.

He moves to a 'new life' in Duma Key, off Floridas West Coast; a deserted strip, part beach, part weed-tangled, owned by a patroness of the arts whose twin sisters went missing in the 1920s. Duma Key is where out-of-season hurricanes tears lives apart and a powerful undertow lures lost and tormented souls. Here Freemantle is inspired to paint the amazing sunsets. But soon the paintings become predictive, even dangerous. Freemantle knows the only way forward is to discover what happened to the twin sisters and what is the secret of the strange old lady who holds the key?

The story is about friendship, about the bond between a father and his daughter. And about memory, truth and art. It is also is a metaphor for the life and inspiration of a writer, and an exploration of the nature, power and influence of fiction.

Revue de presse

Very clever and brilliantly written . . . you won't use your mobile for days. (Guardian on CELL)

The master of horror has become more thoughtful in useful years. His latest novel, DUMA KEY, is not a terror-fest, but an eerie tale of paranormal powers. It makes for unsettling but intriguing listening (Financial Times)

The true narrative artist is a rare creature. Storytelling - the ability to make the listener or the reader need to know, demand to know, what happens next - is a gift...Stephen King, like Charles Dickens before him, has this gift in spades. (The Times on CELL)

Thrilling, genuinely terrifying, beautifully textured and full of wonderful invention (Daily Mail on LISEY'S STORY)
