A howling funnel of destruction screams across the prairie
and slams into the sleepy town of Promise, Oklahoma. As the
mammoth twister splinters homes, shreds crops, and tosses
cars through the air, only three of the town's terrified
residents know that an even more malevolent force has come
to torment them-and they will not live to tell anyone. When Police Chief Charlie Grover finds three mutilated
corpses in a tornado-ravaged farmhouse, his first thought
is that the victims were impaled by flying debris. But his
instincts tell him something different. Through solid
police work, Charlie proves that they were brutally
murdered and discovers that their executioner has left a
particularly hideous calling card. Yet how could the killer
predict exactly when and where a tornado would strike and
use it to cover his tracks? Could this psychopath be one of
the storm chasers who streak across the plains in pursuit
of the ultimate thrill ride? Enlisting the aid of tornado-chasing scientist Dr. Willa
Bellman, Charlie will step into a chaotic world of high-
tech risk-taking in search of a cunning criminal…one he
soon suspects is stalking him-and his lonely, vulnerable
teenage daughter. For this is a killer unlike any he's ever
encountered before: one who conspires with the awesome
power of nature to commit and conceal unspeakable crimes.
