#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
The master of the legal thriller sweeps you away to paradise for a
little sun, sand, mystery, and mayhem. With Camino Winds, America's
favorite storyteller offers the perfect escape. Welcome back to Camino
Island, where anything can happen--even a murder in the midst of a
hurricane, which might prove to be the perfect crime...
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.
Camino Winds is an irresistible romp and a perfectly thrilling beach
read--# 1 bestselling author John Grisham at his beguiling best.
