SynopsisHailed for his extraordinary writing ("Publishers Weekly") and his incisively chiseled characters ("The New York Times"), Jonathon King returns with a chilling new thriller featuring Max Freeman, the most thoughtful, well-read, and multilayered private eye hero since Spenser ("Booklist," starred review). Craving some quiet time together, Max Freeman and Detective Sherry Richards retreat to Maxs shack deep in the Florida Everglades. No television. No cell phones. No neighbors. It seems like the perfect getaway until a violent hurricane rips through South Florida, obliterating everything in its path. And that is just the beginning of the nightmare. With Sherry severely injured and no way to call for help, the couple begins a treacherous trip back to civilization only to find that the hurricanes devastation is the least of their worries. The isolation they sought becomes a deadly enemy as undesirables invade the Glades. Some have come to pillage and loot what remains, while others are desperate to protect secrets. All are willing to kill to get what they came for, and Max and Sherry are smack in the line of fire. Evoca- tive and gripping, "Acts of Nature" traces their race against time and the elements to escape before its too late., Award-winning author King returns with a new thriller featuring private eye Max Freeman and Detective Sherry Richards. The isolation the two seek in the Florida Everglades becomes a deadly enemy as undesirables invade the area and Max and Sherry must escape before its too late.
