Overview
NADIE LO CUENTA COMO GRISHAM.
Cuando el huracán Leo se desvía de su curso previsto para dirigirse hacia Camino Island, en la costa de Florida, la mayoría de sus habitantes decide abandonar la isla. Solo un pequeño grupo de irreductibles elige quedarse, entre ellos Bruce Cable, el propietario de la librería Bay Books. El huracán avanza destrozándolo todo y dejando casas derrumbadas, hoteles y tiendas destruidos, calles inundadas y una docena de muertos. Uno de los fallecidos es Nelson Kerr, amigo de Bruce y autor de thrillers. Pero los indicios sugieren que la tormenta no fue la causa de la muerte de Nelson: la víctima recibió numerosos golpes sospechosos en la cabeza.
¿Quién querría matar a Nelson? La policía local está sobrepasada por los efectos del huracán y no se encuentra en condiciones de ocuparse del caso. Pero Bruce comienza a preguntarse si algunos oscuros personajes de las novelas de su amigo podrían ser más reales que ficticios. Y en algún lugar del ordenador de Nelson está el manuscrito de su nueva novela. ¿Estará allí, en negro sobre blanco, la clave del caso? Bruce empieza a investigar y lo que descubre entre sus páginas es más impactante que cualquiera de los giros de las tramas de Nelson... y mucho más peligroso.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
#1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER • “The perfect crime scene . . . in the type of wild but smart caper that Grisham’s readers love.”—Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
“Escapist entertainment . . . with elements of a more traditional Grisham thriller.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
Just as Bruce Cable’s Bay Books is preparing for the return of bestselling author Mercer Mann, Hurricane Leo veers from its predicted course and heads straight for Camino Island. Florida’s governor orders a mandatory evacuation, and most residents board up their houses and flee to the mainland, but Bruce decides to stay and ride out the storm.
The hurricane is devastating: Homes and condos are leveled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded—and a dozen people lose their lives. One of the apparent victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce’s and an author of thrillers. But the nature of Nelson’s injuries suggests that the storm wasn’t the cause of his death: He has suffered several suspicious blows to the head.
Who would want Nelson dead? The local police are overwhelmed in the aftermath of the storm and ill-equipped to handle the case. Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in Nelson’s novels might be more real than fictional. And somewhere on Nelson’s computer is the manuscript of his new book. Could the key to the case be right there—in black and white? As Bruce starts to investigate, what he discovers between the lines is more shocking than any of Nelson’s plot twists—and far more dangerous.
