Storm Cell

When a veteran investigative reporter is found dead in an ice-coated parking garage, the only way to prove it was murder is to read the weather.Cleveland's chief meteorologist Brooke Wilder knows the December derecho's minute-by-minute temperature drop better than anyone — she broadcast it live. So when FBI Special Agent Frank Wilder, her estranged husband, asks her to decode the dead man's weather-timestamped surveillance photos, Brooke realizes the flash freeze didn't kill him. It preserved the evidence that someone else did.As Brooke and Frank follow the money trail from a corrupted renovation project to a powerful name hiding behind Cleveland's cultural renaissance, someone reaches into Brooke's broadcast systems with a chilling message: I'm watching. The same financial network that killed her makeup artist ten months ago has claimed another colleague — and Brooke may be next.Storm Cell is the second novel in the Winterkill: Cleveland Murder Mysteries series — a gripping blend of romantic suspense, atmospheric thriller, and emotional reckoning set against the brutal beauty of a Cleveland winter.While it can be enjoyed as a standalone thriller, readers will find deeper resonance following Brooke and Frank's journey from the beginning with The Coldest Valentine (Book 1).Content warning: Storm Cell contains mature themes including pregnancy loss, grief, addiction recovery, and on-page intimacy.
