Reporter Todd Mills is on a bridge after a phone call to meet a contact who's being blackmailed. He gets there and the person he's meeting is shot just as a huge storm comes through. The body is pushed into the water by the high winds and Todd is hit in the head by a sign that was toppled by the

wind as well. This is the start of this book. Through several anonymous notes and phone calls we have a transgender woman as a suspect. Someone is out to get Todd's BF, a cop, as well. The finale takes place at a rural abandoned farm outside of Minneapolis just as a tornado is about to hit. Is an action packed thriller/mystery.
