Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The perfect crime scene . . . in the type of wild but smart caper that Grisham’s readers love.”—Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
Just as Bruce Cable’s 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. Florida’s 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.
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 Bruce’s and an author of thrillers. But the nature of Nelson’s injuries suggests that the storm wasn’t the cause of his death: He has suffered several suspicious blows to the head.
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 Nelson’s novels might be more real than fictional. And somewhere on Nelson’s computer is the manuscript of his new novel. Could the key to the case be right there—in black and white? As Bruce starts to investigate, what he discovers between the lines is more shocking than any of Nelson’s plot twists—and far more dangerous.

Great
5By geakbaBig fan of Grisham. Another great book.The Saga Continues
4By R. RockwoodThe second book in the "Camino Island" Series continues the saga of Bay Books and its inner circle of writers and book enthusiasts. The island is devastated when a hurricane strikes and a murder is committed. The deceased happens to be a member of the Bay Books inner circle, and the familiar old characters soon commence an investigation. The murder is just the tip of an iceberg of corruption plaguing nursing home corporate management. The main characters team with their former adversaries to investigate the corruption at the highest possible level. However, more injuries subsequently occur and the characters are torn about whether to proceed further with their investigation. The central question of the book is whether the ends justify the means when investigating danger and corruption.Good read!!

4By Krf31Not the usual Grisham tale but still easy reading with a good plot. Just bought the next book in the series.Just Okay
3By MinRayIt’s a likable page turner, but it’s not what you would call gripping. Certainly no surprises or plot twists. The characters are all about an inch deep.Enjoyed every minute
5By picklobI loved the characters. The setting of the book.Camino Winds
3By Halsterx3/5 stars Not as good as the old Grisham books. Wondering, convoluted plot with a quick wrap up at the end. Wouldn’t recommend to my friends. Hal R Troy, MICasino Winds
