Either Troy Simon has the inside scoop on a dirty case of medical malpractice or he has unearthed a document that implicates the hospital in an insidious scheme to develop a pristine tract of land. In either case, the twenty-four year old medical student is forced to abandon his studies and run for his life. His flight keeps him in the cross hairs of an unyielding plot to end his life as he bolts from the San Francisco Bay area to the Sierras and on to a remote Caribbean island.

From the Author During my first year in medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, I partook in anatomy dissections in a laboratory located on a sky-high floor of a towering building that overlooked the city. Each glance out the window afforded a panoramic view the Bay Area -- Oakland and the East Bay; Alcatraz; Sausalito; and the Golden Gate Bridge opening to a seemingly endless Pacific. Ships laden with containers eased in and out of the bay as the morning wore on. Fog came and went as it pleased, but in the views, and in the sound of gusts blowing through windows opened just enough to allow fresh air to enter, the mind had a way of wandering just a bit. And thus Stand at Bay was born.San Francisco and the Caribbean are, in some ways, natural partners for the backdrop of a novel because each affords boundless waterborne beauty. In the summer between my freshman and sophomore years in college, I traveled for two months as a vagabond throughout the Leeward and Windward Islands of the Caribbean, stopping as a bird might on each island in a north-south migration. In the process, I discovered that each drop of land dotting the magnificent turquoise sea hosted its own personality. And so why not create a make-believe island and call it "Solitaire"? A perfect place for a wayward medical student to meet, perhaps, the woman of his life.

I loved the way the various settings were portraited so well through words. I could almost 'feel' the island breeze on Solitaire, and the cool waters of Blue Bonnet Bay. Each character was well established as part of the story line, and I loved the background material. I plan to read this book again, and give it as gifts. Great reading material for a beach vacation.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Lack of "flaws" hurts By Neil A. Ward A good-hearted thriller, somewhat suggesting in some odd particulars "The Da Vinci Code," which is hard to explain, in that Klontz's book came out a couple years prior: I'm thinking of the odd intervention of a female sidekick with a talent for cryptography as a key plot element. Also (as in Brown's book) a bit too bright of a halo on the main character; you like him, but his lack of a flaw of any sort makes him a little tedious. On the same token, the villain is also an unmitigated jerk; one yearns for more nuance in the characters.I, personally, felt that the novel does not make you care enough that some greedy developers are going to destroy an unspoilt stretch of California coastline, contrary to the wishes stated in the bequest of the last owner; or that a dark conspiracy of developers would commit that kind of conspiratorial mayhem to enforce their will.There were some odd tautologies: Klontz feels the need to introduce each character with a recital of his educational background, which does not really show penetration.But the odd premonitions of the Da Vinci Code, both in details and in general tone, are the odd thing here. One wonders if a common source or influence is involved.A worthwhile outing, in any case. Spend some time with it.
