The Tempest

Pastor Luke Bowers and homicide investigator Amy Hunter, the unlikely pair who have solved cases together before, are back in this new murder mystery. The setting is Tidewater County, on Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, where visitors such as Susan Champlain stop by each year to enjoy the scenery.

The trouble starts when Susan visits Luke and confides that her husband has a violent temper and has threatened to make her "disappear" over a photograph she took on her phone. Alarmed, Luke contacts Tidewater County's chief homicide investigator, Hunter. That same night, Susan is found dead below the Widow's Point bluff. Hunter soon finds clues suggesting Susan's death is tied to a string of killings in the Northeast, a powerful criminal operation, and a missing Rembrandt, The Storm on the Sea of Galilee.

The killer has surrounded the case with deception and betrayal, a deliberate "tempest" meant to hide the truth. Hunter and Bowers must now work together to uncover the dangerous secret captured in Susan's photo, though they may themselves become the next targets.
