A storm is brewing . . . and murder strikes like lightning

Samantha Prescott believes Type-A organization can weather any storm—until a hurricane threatens her mountain community of Sunset Ridge. As the newly-elected HOA president coordinates emergency response efforts, she thinks her biggest challenge will be managing her neighbors' chaos and keeping her rescue dog Arlo calm during the tempest. But when pushy real estate developer Harrison Blackwood is found dead at the historic Ridgeview House hotel, Sam realizes the storm isn't the only killer in town.

With roads impassable and communication systems down, Sam knows outside help won't arrive until the hurricane passes. Using her meticulous nature and knack for observation, she begins investigating the developer's death. Between power outages and rising flood waters, she discovers Blackwood had threatened half the town with his aggressive development plans. But someone decided to stop him permanently.

As the storm reaches its peak, Sam uncovers evidence that points to another target. With time running out and the killer closing in, she'll need more than her perfectly organized emergency kit to survive this disaster. Can Sam's preparation and planning help her catch a killer, or will she be the next victim of this perfect storm?
