Body Surfing

Best friends Q. and Jasper live typical high school lives filled with parties and girls--until a sinister force possesses Q., and his behavior takes a decidedly dark turn. Halfway around the world, Ileana Magdalen, an elite hunter, is on a mission to stop an elusive man who has left a trail of blood and bodies behind him, bringing strife, war, and genocide wherever he goes. When Ileana, Q., and Jasper come together, the loyalties of friendship are tested in unimaginable ways, and the living and the dead become entangled in a violent battle as old as mankind itself. In critically acclaimed author Dale Peck's "brilliant thriller" (The Sacramento Book Review), the secrets of human nature wait to be discovered in the shockingly dark corners of a dangerous parallel universe.
