<DIV><DIV><B>A PI&rsquo;s vacation in the Everglades is disrupted by a deadly hurricane&mdash;and dangerous criminals&mdash;in this riveting read by an Edgar Award&ndash;winning author.</B><BR /> &#160;<BR /> The peace and quiet of Max Freeman and Sherry Richards&rsquo;s vacation ends abruptly when Hurricane Simone slams into the Sunshine State. Sherry suffers a devastating injury in the storm, and the two are left stranded in the swamp.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> But as they struggle to find help, they&rsquo;re thwarted by not only opportunistic crooks looking to benefit from the disaster, but also hired muscle from a powerful oil company hoping to protect a lethal secret&mdash;regardless of who stands in the way&mdash;in this &ldquo;survival-of-the-fittest tale&rdquo; by a master of mystery and suspense (<I>Newsday</I>).<BR /><BR /> &ldquo;King vividly describes the hurricane&rsquo;s force and the different ways people respond to it. Sherry displays her grit and Max his ingenuity in a series of desperate gambles as the story builds to an explosive climax. This is a worthy addition to a Florida subgenre that includes Carl Hiaasen&rsquo;s <I>Stormy Weather</I> and Tim Dorsey&rsquo;s <I>Hurricane Punch</I>.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>Publishers Weekly</I><BR /><BR /><I>This ebook contains an illustrated biography of the author featuring never-before-seen photos.</I></DIV></DIV>
