P. M. Carlson is the author of eight Maggie Ryan mysteries and several crime short stories, as well as Gravestone and Bloodstream, the first two books in this series of Marty Hopkins mysteries. She has been nominated for a number of awards, including an Anthony for Murder is Academic and an Edgar for Murder in the Dog Days. She lives in New York State with her husband and a Belgian sheepdog named Poirot.
Nichols County in southern Indiana is usually pretty quiet, but this summer Deputy Sheriff Marty Hopkins has an unusually full plate: a young woman has been found dead in the lobby of the local bank. Marty's instincts tell her it's murder, but when a tornado sweeps through the country, leaving a trail of death and disaster in its wake, even murder goes on the back burner, especially after a young rock star is found dead in the tornado's aftermath. At first it looks like he was killed by the storm, but Marty's not so sure. Could his death be linked to the young woman's? Marty, who has lived in Nichols County all her life and knows just about everybody, is forced to confront the fact that one of her oldest friends may be hiding a decidedly dark side. Although Carlson's book starts off at a laconic pace, the tempo picks up quickly, leading to a genuinely shocking climax. Believable characters and an unusual setting close the deal: this one's a winner. Emily Melton
