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 . . .
Tightly plotted and brilliantly imagined, Bait marks the debut of the exciting new thriller talent, J. Kent Messum. Fans of Irvine Welsh, Suzanne Collins and hit TV show Lost will be hooked by his story.
