#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.

      The murder of popular thriller writer Nelson Kerr during a hurricane drives bestseller Grisham’s exciting follow-up to 2017’s Camino Island. In the hurricane’s aftermath, the Camino Island police are too preoccupied to handle the case competently, so Nelson’s bookseller friend, Bruce Cable, the endearing though roguish leader of the Florida resort island’s literary society, and his pals—ex-con crime writer J. Andrew Cobb and bookstore intern Nick Sutton—obtain permission from Nelson’s relatives to investigate. The discovery of Nelson’s unpublished final novel, concerning Medicare fraud, conceivably holds the key to his death. Believing the manuscript is fact posing as fiction, Bruce retains the services of a dodgy security firm to infiltrate nursing homes. This effort leads to more murders, a cover-up, and a massive FBI operation to bring the book’s villains to justice. Grisham peoples the intriguing, elaborate plot with a winsome ensemble of distinguished authors and booklovers. Readers will hope to return soon to this appealing vacation hot spot. Agent: David Gernert, the Gernert Company.

      Listeners may be disappointed if they're expecting this audiobook to be a tense legal drama. This second book in Grisham's Camino Island series features bookstore owner and rare book dealer Bruce Cable and his author friends unraveling a murder mystery. However, we hear about most of the action secondhand. While narrator Michael Beck is well suited to portray Bruce and the other male characters, his voicings of female characters are not well done. As Bruce and friends ride out a hurricane hitting Camino Island, Florida, Beck's narration captures the storm's fury. The next morning finds Bruce's friend, author Nelson Kerr, dead. As Bruce and crew go about solving the murder at a leisurely pace, taking almost a year, patient listeners will enjoy spending time with Grisham's quirky characters.
