Elle Klaes

The Calm Before the Storm Elle Klaes

Hurricane Chloe blows through Billows Hollow, North Carolina ravaging the small, beach town. The decimation caused by the storm is only a piece of the destruction. A young family is found murdered, all but the youngest child - Eilida.

It doesn't take Officer Alice Burkhalder long to piece together enough evidence to pinpoint a possible suspect. Circumstancial evidence though, won't bring him to justice. She dedicates her career and life to tracking the killer who uses hurricanes as a cover for his deranged need to murder, always leaving behind the youngest child.

Evan O'Conner spent eight years in a mental institution after the vicious unsolved murders of his abusive parents. At eighteen he is released into society. He has a single thought and motive operandi - to make his mother pay. She haunts his thoughts as he transforms into a calculating serial killer.

Will Alice Burkhalder bring Evan O'Conner to justice or will someone else get to him first? Someone who has a vendetta against him.

Hang on tight as you read this gritty nail-biting, psychological cat and mouse thriller!
