A gripping description of New England's storm of the century.

A reporter in Florida, Jake Arnett, covers the baffling murder of a mother and daughter seeking a new life - a story that requires every ounce of investigative skill, commitment, and compassion he can muster. Arnett works against a backdrop of decline and despair in print journalism that jeopardizes the newspaper he works for, and the life and career of his closest friend. Journalist David Holmberg has defined a fictional Florida of post-modern bleakness, where hurricanes prowl menacingly and nearly every place seems a venue for anxiety, fear, failure, and even suicide - especially after a chillingly hard-to-fathom murder of a mother and daughter. Haunted by the story, reporter Jake Arnett becomes obsessed with finding their killer or killers, with putting at least one thing right. This is a noir that goes even deeper into the darkness than our foundational writers of the genre. - Jack Vitek, author of The Godfather of Tabloid: Generoso Pope Jr. and the National Enquirer. David Holmberg, a veteran reporter, brings all the accumulated knowledge of years in the news business to The Hurricane Murders. In relentlessly fast-paced prose that's as strong as a category five storm, he captures the passion of the Florida journalists who hunt out the truths concealed behind the sun and fun images we associate with that beckoning locale. He pulls this together into a dynamic thriller that will keep folks turning the pages deep into the night. - John Katzenbach, acclaimed author of Hart's War, Just Cause, and other novels.

Although overshadowed by the Spitfire, during the Battle of Britain the Hurricane accounted for 60% of the RAF's air victories in the battle, and served in all the major theatres of the Second World War. The 1930s design evolved through several versions and adaptations, resulting in a series of aircraft that acted as interceptor-fighters, fighter-bombers (also called 'Hurribombers'), and ground support aircraft. Further versions known as the Sea Hurricane had modifications that enabled operation from ships. Some were converted as catapult-launched convoy escorts, known as 'Hurricats'. More than 14,583 Hurricanes were built by the end of 1944 (including at least 800 converted to Sea Hurricanes and some 1,400 built in Canada. The book collates a variety of pamphlets and manuals on the plane that were produced throughout the war for the benefit of pilots and others associated with the aircraft.
