Synopsis: A PI&’s vacation in the Everglades is disrupted by a deadly hurricane—and dangerous criminals—in this riveting read by an Edgar Award–winning author. The peace and quiet of Max Freeman and Sherry Richards&’s vacation ends abruptly when Hurricane Simone slams into the Sunshine State. Sherry suffers a devastating injury in the storm, and the two are left stranded in the swamp. But as they struggle to find help, they&’re thwarted by not only opportunistic crooks looking to benefit from the disaster, but also hired muscle from a powerful oil company hoping to protect a lethal secret—regardless of who stands in the way—in this &“survival-of-the-fittest tale&” by a master of mystery and suspense (Newsday). &“King vividly describes the hurricane&’s force and the different ways people respond to it. Sherry displays her grit and Max his ingenuity in a series of desperate gambles as the story builds to an explosive climax. This is a worthy addition to a Florida subgenre that includes Carl Hiaasen&’s Stormy Weather and Tim Dorsey&’s Hurricane Punch.&” —Publishers WeeklyThis ebook contains an illustrated biography of the author featuring never-before-seen photos.
