Seven million people visit the breathtaking beaches of North Carolina’s Outer Banks each year looking for fun, relaxation, even romance – but not murder.
An influential politician’s staffer is found dead, right in the middle of a campaign. SBI Agent and struggling mother of three Michael Francis catches the case and finds herself in a gathering storm of cover-ups, crooked cops, drug trafficking, and attempts on her life while she deals with a difficult separation from her police detective husband. In the midst of unexpected and confusing romantic overtures from a prime suspect, an approaching hurricane threatens to sabotage her investigation as Michael chases down a serial killer who’s been operating in the shadows for years.
Michael is forced to deal with human threats more dangerous than mother nature herself in a climactic ending with an unexpected twist. Will she be able to solve her case before the ocean reclaims her crime scene and the murderer disappears? Or will a multitude of nefarious forces stop her dead in her tracks?

About the author
David Dean
3 books2 followersDavid Dean grew up loving the books of Dean Koontz and the films of John Carpenter. He is an avid fan of science fiction and horror, writing novels, novellas, and short story anthologies that challenge each reader's perceived understanding of reality, science, and religion, and the role each plays in the ongoing struggle between good and evil in every human being.
Many of David's stories had their genesis within the construct of various writers groups in Raleigh and Wilmington, North Carolina. He believes in the power of such groups to provide valuable feedback and fellowship as writers take the long, arduous journey of sharing their creativity with others.
David enjoys spending time with his wife, dogs, friends and family in the coastal paradise surrounding Topsail Island, North Carolina, while doing his best to make a positive impact in people's lives.

Pretty good writing but so many plot holes and the ending came out of no where without making any sense. The murderer turned out to be a person barely mentioned in the book.

Easy to read book, a few plot holes, left hanging on new twist at end.
