Murder in the Wind: A Novel

<b><i>Murder in the Wind,</i> one of many classic novels from crime writer John D. MacDonald, the beloved author of <i>Cape Fear </i>and the Travis McGee series, is now available as an eBook.</b><br />  <br /> With the waters rising and the winds whipping through the sky, a hurricane of terrifying intensity is looming over Florida. Along a state highway, a handful of foolhardy souls trying to outrun the storm are forced to seek shelter in an abandoned house after discovering that a nearby bridge is out of commission. Thrown together by nothing more than chance, this disparate bunch of misfits and wanderers includes an undercover agent seeking revenge for a personal tragedy, a burgeoning criminal in over his head, a beautiful young widow trying to start over, and a businessman whose life’s work is crumbling before his eyes. Their refuge from the awesome power of nature becomes a sort of grand and grisly hotel—especially once the invisible hand of flying death descends.<br /> <b> </b><br /> <b>Features a new Introduction by Dean Koontz</b><br />  <br /> <b>Praise for John D.
