Camino Winds

Camino winds by John Grisham. 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. Published:
