Welcome back to Camino Island, where anything can happen—even a murder in the midst of a hurricane, which might prove to be the perfect crime. Camino Winds is the sequel to John Grisham’s 2017 novel, Camino Island. A departure from Grisham’s legal thrillers, The Camino Islands series features bookstore owner, Bruce Cable, who lives in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. Although it's not about lawyers, this series has the fast-paced thrills and suspense that we’ve come to expect from John Grisham.
