“The island lay alone in the sea, moored in tranquil waters of turquoise, embraced in radiant stillness, trees rising from it beyond the sienna beaches, and no sign whatever of life.”
William Brinkley, born in 1917, was a newspaper reporter before spending four years on active Navy duty. Then at *Life magazine*, he was busy working on a new novel. He is the author of *Quicksand* and *The Deliverance of Sister Cecilia*. Random House published the higher priced hardbound edition of *Don't Go Near the Water*.
