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 novel. 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. Camino Winds is an irresistible romp and a perfectly thrilling
