A small island thriller about the woman no one believed.
In this small beach town, folklore says a ghost appears before hurricanes. See him and leave, you live. Stay, you die in the storm. A serial killer on Fire Island built his method around it.

Her own father said she was making it up for attention. She spent the next ten years trying to prove a serial killer lurks on Fire Island.
Until this summer. A new chief, the first authority figure to listen, gives her a chance to investigate. But another storm is coming. Another body is found. And Violet realizes The Storm Reaper must be local. Someone she knows. Someone she might care for.
