(3) YA Teenage playboy Lucas spends the summers in his real-estate developer father's luxe hotel in Puerto Rico. When girls start disappearing from the island and Lucas's latest hookup ends up dead, he becomes entangled with a creepy botanist and his daughter and is a suspect in the island's foul play. The story, with elements of magical realism, is satisfyingly moody, lyrical, and mysterious.
