About This Item
clean, no marks, no tears
The catastrophic power of a giant hurricane can raise coastal waves thirty feet high and blow through houses at devastating speeds. For TV meteorologist Perry Stuart, however, such predictions are generally hypothetical, as he chiefly predicts periods of English drizzle, with bursts of heavier rain and sunshine to follow. Stuart's profound weather knowledge and accuracy have given him high status among forecasters, but no physical baptism by storm.

Synopsis
Dick Francis generally uses the world of horseracing as a context for the heroes of his novels, but this one leans toward the elements as the book opens with meterologist John Kettley struggling to survive being downed in a Caribbean storm at sea.
