Duma Key is a powerful suspense novel from No. 1 bestseller Stephen King, now with a new cover.
When Edgar Freemantle moves to the remote island of Duma Key, off Florida's coast, to escape his past, he doesn't expect to find much there.
But Duma has been waiting for him, and something in the view from his window urges him to discover a talent he never knew he had.
Edgar Freemantle begins to paint. And as he paints, the island's secrets begin to stir. Secrets of children lost in the undertow, of a ghost ship riding the distant horizon - and a family's buried past reaching long hands into the present.
