In the coastal town of St. Medard’s Bay, Alabama, storms are a way of life—but some are far more dangerous than others.
The town is known for three things: devastating hurricanes, the historic Rosalie Inn that has miraculously survived them all, and the decades-old murder scandal of Lo Bailey—the local girl accused of killing her powerful lover, Landon Fitzroy, during Hurricane Marie in 1984.
Geneva Corliss, the inn’s current owner, is struggling to keep the Rosalie afloat when a true crime writer arrives to investigate the infamous case. Hoping the renewed attention might save her business, Geneva welcomes the opportunity—until she discovers the writer hasn’t come alone. With him is Lo Bailey herself, returning to the town that once condemned her.
Lo claims she’s back to clear her name. But as Geneva is drawn deeper into Lo’s orbit—and into the mystery that has haunted the town for decades—she begins to suspect that Lo’s motives are far more complicated… and possibly far more dangerous.
As a powerful hurricane barrels toward the coast, tensions rise and secrets begin to surface. In a place where the past refuses to stay buried, Geneva must uncover the truth before the coming storm unleashes devastation that no one will survive.
Atmospheric, suspenseful, and packed with twists, The Storm is a chilling tale of obsession, revenge, and the destructive power of secrets.
