Please know that no one will be coming to your aid Much effort has been made to ensure this

Six strangers wake up on a remote, deserted island, with no memory of their arrival.

They appear to have been chosen at random.

One of the castaways finds a letter they learn that there only chance of escape is to another island just a mile away.

Across some of the most dangerous, shark-infested waters in the world.

The letter ends with one simple instruction- begin when you wish.

As the group are forces to face their darkest fears they will be pushed to the very edge of sanity. The odds against survival are long.

From aboard a yacht anchored offshore, a group of shadowy figures watches them.

And waits . . .

Reviews for Bait

Jaws meets Lord of the Flies meets Drugstore Cowboy! A powerhouse debut. * Steve Ulfelder, author of Purgatory Chasm and The Whole Lie * The stakes could be no higher in this crisply written, fast-paced novel that examines the shifting line between right and wrong, good and evil. Bait will keep readers turning pages late into the night. * Lori Roy, author of Bent Road and Until She Comes Home * Reading J. Kent Messum's Bait is like taking a high dive into black water. What you find in its murky depths is disturbing, pulse-pounding and utterly surprising. An exhilarating debut. * Megan Abbott, author of Dare Me *
