A category 3 hurricane is hurtling toward coastal North Carolina, but for agoraphobic cyber-sleuth Viv, the real threat is leaving her couch.

After solving her first murder, Viv vowed never to abandon her Boston apartment, her cozy oversized onesies, or her sacred safe space ever again. But when a high-profile real estate broker accuses her of orchestrating a malicious vandalism spree 800 miles away, Viv has no choice but to face the music in person.

Equipped with full cosmetic armor, an aggressively overpacked suitcase, and her irresistibly charming ride-or-die Benjy, Viv trades her digital sanctuary for a shotgun seat bound for the Carolina coast.

The targets? Local real estate agents and prominent Black business owners.

As tension explodes across town, Viv and Benjy must navigate deep-seated Southern rivalries, Benjy’s questionable road-trip snacks, and relentless humidity. But with howling winds and rising tide closing in, she is running out of time.

Viv must unmask a vicious killer before category 3 Hurricane Proteus hits and washes away every trace of evidence.
