By: Joshua Moeling From award-nominated and USA Today bestselling author Joshua Moehling comes a thriller about one detective's search for a mysterious killer in the chaos following a deadly storm... But before the summer is out, someone else will die. Detective Ben Packard has put down roots in the small town of Sandy Lake. A difficult thing to do; it’s a hot, miserable summer, and a tornado has swept through and done irreparable damage. Trees are felled, homes destroyed, and people are desperate. The storm has also blown in a group of storm chasers with something to hide. Then a woman is killed in her home. She wasn’t popular among the locals: the mother of a gay boy, she’d recently raised hell at school when the administration refused to punish a group of students who were bullying her son. To Packard, the case hits close to home. And when someone from his past shows up on his doorstep mid-investigation, he realizes he'll have to confront the reality of navigating small town life as a gay man. The heat suffocates. The violence simmers. Before the summer is out, someone else will die.
