    About this ebook

    September, 1938: An angry hurricane is racing across the Atlantic as the fledgling US Weather Bureau scrambles to track the mega-storm. Inexplicably, the Weather Bureau “loses” sight of the storm which, in an unfathomable scenario, strengthens and takes a direct aim at an oblivious New England. Blissfully unaware of the approaching typhoon, on the wealthy summer retreat of Napatree Point in Rhode Island, there is another kind of evil lurking even as the storm nears. With a trail of blood marking his every eerie advance, a man of equally terrifying proportions is being hunted by lawmen dedicated to stopping the crazed murderer’s killing spree since his escape days earlier from the State Prison in Wethersfield, Connecticut. No one is safe from the threat of man and nature as the insane killer and an epic hurricane descend together on the unsuspecting beaches of the Rhode Island coastline, bent on death and destruction.
