The Shark Did It — Kay Dew Shostak

It's August on Sophia Island, and that means hurricane season is in full swing. Everyone keeps telling Northern newcomer Jewel Mantelle not to worry-yet. They'll tell her when it's time to worry. Against their advice, she's been staying up late watching The Weather Channel, and when the latest storm gets a name, well, she decides it's time to worry!Suddenly, though, there are more important things than Category 3 storms to fret about. Things much closer to her home in the heart of Sophia Beach's historic district. Jewel's husband, Craig, is still working out of town, but Officer Charlie Greyson is closer to Jewel than ever. He's left his wife and moved into Jewel's neighborhood, where they seem to often run into each other. Too often for some folks' liking. Especially his embittered wife.And Jewel's not the only one on Sophia Island dealing with romantic drama. The summer heat has caused local barista and free spirit Eden Church's longtime relationship with police officer Aiden Bryant to boil over and possibly out. It's become volatile to the point of concern, but all the plans and fights and other worries come to a screeching halt when Eden goes missing... days before Hurricane Lewis is scheduled to make landfall.
