The Sunday Times bestseller from international bestseller John Grisham.
Is a Perfect Storm the Perfect Time for a Murder?
'Another gem from John Grisham' Observer
When Hurricane Leo threatens Florida's Camino
Island, the Governor is quick to issue an evacuation order. Most
residents flee but a small group of diehards decide to ride it out.
Amongst them is Bruce Cable, proprietor of Bay Books in downtown Santa
Rosa.
The hurricane is devastating: homes and condos are
levelled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen
people are killed. One of the victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of
Bruce's who wrote timely political thrillers. But evidence suggests that
the storm wasn't the cause of Nelson's death - he had received several
mysterious blows to the head.
Who would want Nelson dead? The local police are
overwhelmed with the aftermath of the storm and in no condition to
handle the case. Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in
Nelson's novels were more fact than fiction. 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? Bruce starts to look into it and
what he finds between the lines is more shocking than any of Nelson's
plot twists - and far more dangerous.
Gripping, compelling and pacy, this exceptional
thriller from international bestseller John Grisham is the perfect
escapist read this summer.
