![]() 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. Bruce begins to wonder if the shady characters in Nelson's novels were more fact than fiction. Who would want Nelson dead? The local police are overwhelmed with the aftermath of the storm and in no condition to handle the case. But evidence suggests that the storm wasn't the cause of Nelson's death - he had received several mysterious blows to the head. One of the victims is Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce's who wrote timely political thrillers. The story is a bit crisper, the characters more questioning and questionable and the tale that is told is one that in the context of modern Western society, serves. Grisham’s career began in 1989 with his debut novel, A Time to Kill, and since then, his novels.

The hurricane is devastating: homes and condos are levelled, hotels and storefronts ruined, streets flooded, and a dozen people are killed. Camino Island, by John Grisham, is the first book in his new Camino series, published in 2017 by Anchor. Amongst them is Bruce Cable, proprietor of Bay Books in downtown Santa Rosa.

Bruce was a lovable though roguish character and an undeniable force in the brutal world of bookselling. The job is left to the attorney’s companions on the islanda cast of literary characters recognizable to readers of the book’s prequel, Camino Island. John Grisham is taking us back to Camino Island with his newest, Camino Winds Read the first chapter here to tide you over until the book is released on April 28th. The first is about a tropical storm, the second, a corporate scam. Most residents flee but a small group of diehards decide to ride it out. Camino Winds is an example of a novel that is truly two books in one. When Hurricane Leo threatens Florida's Camino Island, the Governor is quick to issue an evacuation order. ![]() Is a Perfect Storm the Perfect Time for a Murder? ![]()
