Thunder Beach Michael Lister

Thousands of bikers have descended on the Miracle Strip in Panama City for one of America's premiere biker rallies, but a storm is blowing in. Amid the bikes and beer and bikinis, crimes of unspeakable brutality are being committed—one of which touches too close to home for former reporter Merrick McKnight.

Between crashes of thunder, a killer strikes, and a young woman's life hangs in the balance.

Michael Lister is the author of the Blood series featuring prison chaplain/detective John Jordan, and a second series featuring Jimmy "Soldier" Riley, a PI in Panama City during Word War II.
