#1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY 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 Camino 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 ar e 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 book. 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.
Don t miss John Grisham s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!
Rezension:
A cat-and-mouse caper . . . Grisham is an irresistible writer. His prose is fluent and gorgeous, and he has an ability to end each segment with a terse sentence thatn makes it all but impossible not to turn the page. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
