Chris Landrum survived his first hurricane on Folly Beach, South Carolina, and breathed a sigh of relief. But, the sigh proved to be premature. Chris's peaceful retirement on the tiny barrier island goes from bad to worse when the body of an acquaintance is discovered. Deaths during a hurricane are not unusual, but when an arrow through the heart is the cause, everything changes. However, the killer has made one critical mistake. Chris's friends could be next. So, with the help of his left-of-quirky acquaintances, Chris has to stop him. The Edge, a boardinghouse full of misfits, and a country music bar is all that connects the victims. Is Country Cal, a washed-up musician, the killer or the next victim? How about Harley, whose name matches his motorcycle-low, wide, and loud? Or Heather, the songstress, whose looks are far better than her musical talents? Finding the killer is complicated by the police who declare that Chris and his friends are nearly as evil as the murderer. A friend's heart attack, questions about his own love life, his failing business, and a police chief bent on running Chris off the island, provide no shortage of roadblocks to finding the killer- potentially fatal roadblocks.
