HTML:<b>A PI's vacation in the Everglades is disrupted by a deadly hurricane—and dangerous criminals—in this riveting read by an Edgar Award–winning author.</b><br /> <br /> The peace and quiet of Max Freeman and Sherry Richards'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 /> <br /> But as they struggle to find help, they'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—regardless of who stands in the way—in this "survival-of-the-fittest tale" by a master of mystery and suspense (<i>Newsday</i>).<br /> "King vividly describes the hurricane'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's <i>Stormy Weather</i> and Tim Dorsey's <i>Hurricane Punch</i>." —<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br /> <i>This ebook contains an illustrated biography of the author featuring never-before-seen photos.</i>.
