When she was sixteen, Violet Crisp survived the storm that killed her best friend. The same night, she saw a man get murdered in the fog. The chief said she was confused by grief. Her own father said she was making it up. Ten years later she’s a cop on Fire Island, another storm is coming, another body has washed up — and Violet realizes The Storm Reaper must be someone local. Someone she’s had coffee with.
