Description
The Sunday Times bestseller from international bestseller John Grisham.
Is a Perfect Storm the Perfect Time for a Murder?
'Another gem from John Grisham' Observer
When Hurricane Leo threatens Florida's Camino Island, the Governor is quick to issue an evacuation order. Most residents flee, but a small group of diehards decide to ride it out. Amongst them is Bruce Cable, proprietor of Bay Books in downtown Santa Rosa.
The hurricane is devastating: homes and condos are levelled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen people are killed. One of the victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce's who wrote timely political thrillers. But evidence suggests that the storm wasn't the cause of Nelson's death - he had received several mysterious blows to the head.
Who would want Nelson dead? The local police are overwhelmed with the aftermath of the storm and in no condition to handle the case. Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in Nelson's novels were more fact than fiction. And somewhere on Nelson's computer is the manuscript of his new novel - could the key to the case be right there, in black and white? Bruce starts to look into it, and what he finds between the lines is more shocking than any of Nelson's plot twists - and far more dangerous.
Gripping, compelling, and pacy, this exceptional new thriller from international bestseller John Grisham is the perfect escapist read this summer.Praise for Camino Winds:
'In American icon John Grisham's new novel, Camino Winds, an odd assortment of mystery and crime authors, some of them felons themselves, discover one of their colleagues has been murdered during the fury of a massive hurricane - the perfect crime scene' Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing
'The Camino Island series, featuring trouble-prone bookseller Bruce Cable, is a perfect escapist mix of detective action, insider riffs on the literary world - and even a little romance' Mail on Sunday
'Camino Winds has all the usual Grisham hallmarks - a pacy plot and tension-filled scenes' Independent
'Another compelling read from Grisham, and will satisfy old fans and please new readers alike' Press Association
'The novel has enough plot twists to keep you engaged' The Herald
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
John Grisham's Camino Winds captivates readers with its engaging protagonist and a thrilling blend of detective action and literary world insights. The novel features a pacy plot set against a storm-battered island, where crime and mystery authors, embroiled in a murder and drug conspiracy, create a dynamic narrative. While differing in tone from Grisham's legal thrillers, it offers enough plot twists and tension-filled scenes to please both long-time fans and newcomers, making it a perfect escapist read.
