Category Five: A Cold Trail Thriller

Rate this book
He’s built a career exposing monsters. He didn’t expect to be trapped with one.

True-crime TV host Chase Harlan knows how evil looks on a grainy footage, neat timelines, safe distance. On a tropical island resort, he’s supposed to be off duty. Sunburns, cocktails, and nothing more serious than a bruised ego.

Until a guest is found dead, and nobody mistakes it for an accident.

Before Chase can even ask the right questions, a category-five hurricane slams into the island and wipes away every escape route. The resort becomes a pressure cooker of strangers, secrets, and suspicion. It’s held together by failing walls and the steady discipline of Nadia St. Clair, the resort’s security chief.

With his best friend Bren, a former Marine, beside him and the storm screaming outside, Chase starts doing what he does pulling threads nobody wants pulled.

Because nothing sets off a frightened crowd faster than murder.

And if Chase doesn’t find the truth before the storm breaks the island apart, the killer won’t have to hide what they did.

Nature will do it for them.
