Description
Hurricane Leo threatens Florida's Camino Island, prompting the Governor to issue an evacuation order. Most residents flee, but a small group of diehards decide to ride it out. Among them is Bruce Cable, proprietor of Bay Books in downtown Santa Rosa. The hurricane is devastating, with homes and condos levelled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen people killed. One of the victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce's who wrote timely political thrillers. Evidence suggests that the storm wasn't the cause of Nelson's death, as he had received several mysterious blows to the head. The local police are overwhelmed with the aftermath of the storm, and Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in Nelson's novels were more fact than fiction. A manuscript of Nelson's new novel is found on his computer, which may hold the key to the case. As Bruce delves deeper, he uncovers shocking and dangerous secrets. This gripping thriller is a compelling read, perfect for those looking for an exciting summer escape.
