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.
