by John Grisham
“In American icon John Grisham’s new novel, Camino Winds, an
odd assortment of mystery and crime authors, some of them felons
themselves, discover one of their colleagues has been murdered during
the fury of a massive hurricane—the perfect crime scene. Since officials
are preoccupied with the aftermath of the storm, the authors set out to
solve the mystery themselves, in the type of wild but smart caper that
Grisham’s readers love.” —Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
John
Grisham, #1 bestselling author and 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.
