Это предстоит выяснить обычному учителю из маленького городка Джейку Эппингу, получившему доступ к временному порталу.
Его цель - спасти Кеннеди.
Но какова будет цена спасения?
Michael Koryta 4.5
In an isolated stretch of eastern Kentucky, on a hilltop known as Blade Ridge, stands a lighthouse that illuminates nothing but the surrounding woods. For years the lighthouse has been considered no more than an eccentric local landmark—until its builder is found dead at the top of the light, and his belongings reveal a troubling local history.

For deputy sheriff Kevin Kimble, the lighthouse-keeper’s death is disturbing and personal. Years ago, Kimble was shot while on duty. Somehow the death suggests a connection between the lighthouse and the most terrifying moment of his life.

Audrey Clark is in the midst of moving her large-cat sanctuary onto land adjacent to the lighthouse. Sixty-seven tigers, lions, leopards, and one legendary black panther are about to have a new home there. Her husband, the sanctuary’s founder, died scouting the new property, and Audrey is determined to see his vision through.

As strange occurrences multiply at the Ridge, the animals grow ever more restless, and Kimble and Audrey try to understand what evil forces are moving through this ancient landscape, just past the divide between dark and light.

The Ridge is the new thriller from international bestseller Michael Koryta, further evidence of why Dean Koontz has said “Michael Koryta’s work resonates into deeper strata than does most of what I read” and why Michael Connelly has named him “one of the best of the best.”

His New York medical license has been suspended and he is forced to take a pathologist's job in a quiet backwater of the Florida Everglades.

Quiet, that is, before he helps remove two murder victims from a car sunk into the swamp.

Quiet before a late-night call sends him to a lonely stand of trees in the middle of the Glades: an execution scene filled with putrefying bodies... The autopsies reveal how the victims were tortured and killed, and Jenner's investigation points to the killers with unforeseen consequences.

There is no such thing as Quiet in the Glades, and there are no easy deaths...
