True-crime TV host Chase Harlan came to the island for rum, sun, and a break from the cameras.
He got a dead body in the surf instead.
A Category Five hurricane cuts the island off from the world, and Chase realizes he is trapped with a killer.
He knows violence from grainy footage, neat timelines, and safe distance. Out here, none of that matters. The walls are failing, the wind is screaming, and the resort is filling up with fear, suspicion, and people with nowhere to run. Nadia St. Clair, the security chief, is the only thing holding the place together.
With his best friend Bren, a former Marine and professional smart-ass, at his side, Chase starts pulling threads nobody wants pulled. The body in the surf is tied to secrets this island was never meant to give back, and someone is willing to kill again to keep them buried.
The storm is getting stronger.
The killer is already inside.
And if Chase doesn’t find the truth before the island comes apart, nature won’t just cover the crime.
