So Bruce and co start investigating, and discover that whoever killed Nelson may well have wanted to prevent his next book coming out. Seriously?” – but Camino island isn’t set up for a proper murder investigation the “homicide guy” in the local police force also does bank robberies, and is pretty hopeless. Bruce Cable, owner of a bookstore on the idyllic Florida island and host of expansive dinner parties for the community of local writers, is enjoying a drink or two when Hurricane Leo blows in, devastating the island and leaving his friend, popular crime author Nelson Kerr, dead.īruce and his buddies don’t believe it’s an accident – “You’re thinking somebody came over here in the middle of a category four hurricane, caught Nelson in the den, whacked him in the head, dragged his body outside, tried to clean up the blood, and than ran off.
