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.
