Thunder Beach

De: Michael Lister

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A midnight call. A violent storm. A race to save a life before it’s too late.

From award-winning author Michael Lister comes THUNDER BEACH—a high-voltage thriller set on the neon-lit, storm-lashed strip of Panama City Beach.

The call comes in the dark

A girl is in trouble.
Terrified. Running out of time.

Merrick McKnight picks up the phone—and can’t walk away.

A former reporter with a past he can’t outrun, Merrick knows this feeling:
the story that changes everything.

This time, it’s not just a story.

It’s life or death.

The beach is packed. The storm is coming. The danger is already here.

Thousands of bikers flood the Miracle Strip—engines roaring, music pounding, the party out of control.

Bikes. Beer. Bikinis.
And beneath it all—violence.

As lightning rips across the Gulf and thunder rolls over the shoreline, a predator moves through the chaos—hidden, patient, brutal.

And he’s just getting started.

A hunt through the night

Merrick dives into a world of lies, secrets, and escalating terror:

• A missing girl with nowhere left to run

• A killer who strikes between flashes of lightning

• A city alive all night—and blind to what’s happening in the dark

Every lead is a risk.
Every minute matters.
Every step pulls Merrick closer to a confrontation he may not survive.

The story of his life—if it doesn’t kill him first

Chasing the truth like the biggest scoop of his career, Merrick becomes part of the story he’s trying to stop.

And the deeper he goes, the more personal it gets.

Atmospheric. Relentless. Electrifying.

Experience Panama City Beach like never before—through back alleys and beachfront bars, under neon lights and storm-black skies.

Feel the thunder.
See the flashes.
Hear the roar.

And try to outrun what’s coming.
