Description:
What Callie discovers in the middle of a hurricane will put them all at risk.
Ordinarily Chief Callie Morgan would have more than a passing interest in the kidnapping of a young girl from the same Charleston college attended by her son. But with a hurricane bearing down on Edisto Island, she has more than enough on her plate getting everyone she can off the beach-including moronic tourists or "tourons" desperate to get themselves killed for the thrill of riding out a hurricane.
Amidst gale winds and flooding, she'll be the last off the island. Just like always. Or that's the plan. Except this hurricane isn't playing nice. Her tidy exit strategy doesn't survive first contact with the edge of the storm. Before she can evacuate, a life-threatening injury to a loved one forces her to appeal to three reluctant tourists, ex-Army Rangers, for help getting her people off the island. What Callie discovers in the middle of a hurricane will put them all at risk and maybe save the life of a young girl.
