A Dying Wind

Charlotte newspaper editor Erin Markham is expecting a relaxing vacation at her mom's cottage on North Carolina's Outer Banks, along with a chance to meet her mother's so-far-mysterious new beau. Maybe she'll even figure out where her relationship with her lawyer boyfriend is going. But her plans are upended when a hurricane slams ashore, and a teenage boy dies on her doorstep with a knife in his back and her name on his lips. Also in the series: "Deadline for Death," "An Ice Day to Die."
