The Crystal Coast's most notorious woman is back, and this time she is pitted against one of the most brutal serial killers in North Carolina history. Set in 1980, she is using her vast knowledge of the wilderness and her survivalist skills as a hunting guide in the Croatan National Forest.
While guiding a wealthy attorney from Raleigh and his fourteen year old daughter on her first hunt, they discover the naked body of a young woman, the killer's first victim. She is quickly drawn into working with federal, state and local authorities tracking down the maniac, but who is tracking whom? As her relationship with her client deepens and The Storm of the Century approaches the Crystal Coast, the killer turns his attention towards our heroine.
