About the book
A storm is on the horizon...and murder strikes suddenly like a bolt of lightning.
Samantha Prescott is a firm believer that Type-A organization can endure any storm, until a hurricane threatens her close-knit mountain community of Sunset Ridge. In her role as the newly-elected HOA president, she leads the charge in coordinating emergency response efforts. She anticipates that her biggest challenge will be managing the chaos among her neighbors and keeping her loyal rescue dog Arlo calm amidst the brewing tempest. However, when the lifeless body of pushy real estate magnate Harrison Blackwood is discovered at the revered Ridgeview House hotel, Sam comes to the chilling realization that the storm isn't the only threat looming over town.
With roads blocked and communication systems faltering, Sam understands that outside aid won't reach them until the hurricane has passed. Relying on her keen eye for detail and astute observation skills, she dives into the investigation surrounding the developer's demise. Amidst power outages and encroaching floodwaters, she unearths Blackwood's history of threats against the town due to his aggressive development agenda. Yet, someone within the community chose to put an end to his ambitions permanently.
As the hurricane escalates, Sam uncovers clues indicating that another individual may be in danger as well. With time running out and the killer lurking nearby, her meticulously crafted emergency kit may not be enough to see her through this catastrophe. Will Sam's meticulous preparation and strategic planning aid her in capturing the culprit, or will she find herself ensnared in the sinister web of this merciless storm?
