#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERÂ âĒ âThe perfect crime scene . . . in the type of wild but smart caper that Grishamâs readers love.ââDelia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
  Â
Just as Bruce Cableâs Bay Books is preparing for the return of bestselling author Mercer Mann, Hurricane Leo veers from its predicted course and heads straight for the island. Floridaâs governor orders a mandatory evacuation, and most residents board up their houses and flee to the mainland, but Bruce decides to stay and ride out the storm.
Â
The hurricane is devastating: homes and condos are leveled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen people lose their lives. One of the apparent victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruceâs and an author of thrillers. But the nature of Nelsonâs injuries suggests that the storm wasnât the cause of his death: He has suffered several suspicious blows to the head.
Â
Who would want Nelson dead? The local police are overwhelmed in the aftermath of the storm and ill equipped to handle the case. Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in Nelsonâs novels might be more real than fictional. And somewhere on Nelsonâs computer is the manuscript of his new novel. Could the key to the case be right thereâin black and white? As Bruce starts to investigate, what he discovers between the lines is more shocking than any of Nelsonâs plot twistsâand far more dangerous.
