Book excerpt: Beware the east wind! It's hurricane season in Florida, and everyone's attention is focused on preparing for the latest tempest. But in Serendipity Springs, mah jongg pals Marianne, Sydney, Micki and Kat are caught in a different kind of whirlwind--a mesmerizing murder case involving a slain hypnotist/chef and the woman police suspect of doing her in, her embittered catering partner, Portia.Tasked by Portia to help clear her name, and at the risk of infuriating Kat's sheriff boyfriend, Marianne and her friends discover there are more than enough suspects--and secrets--to go around. Wary of getting themselves into more dangerous situations, Marianne and Syd agree to let their protective spouses join the hunt, even if their scheming husbands are really in it for the action, not bodyguard duty. As they dig into the hypnotist's explosive files, more and more questions arise. Was she blackmailing her clients? Did her husband knock her off to gain access to those secrets? And is Portia telling them everything she knows? The sleuths pile their own deceptions on top of the suspects' lies as a dangerous storm gathers steam offshore. When will the east wind strike, and will the hurricane's merciless eye reveal a killer?
