The Flood Route

The Women the Storm Forgot

A hurricane. A kind stranger. A basement full of secrets.

When journalist Paige Brennan accepts a ride to escape the storm, she has no idea she's just met a killer.

Some storms you can't outrun.

Environmental journalist Paige Brennan's car breaks down during Hurricane Claudette on a flooded Louisiana highway. Stranded with no cell signal, she accepts a ride from Diane Lavigne, a maternal EMT who offers shelter from the storm.

But something is wrong in Diane's Gothic mansion. The doors lock from the outside. There's a child's bedroom frozen in time. And in the basement, Paige discovers evidence that ten women disappeared during past hurricanes—and never left.

The next storm is coming. And Paige is still inside.

In a case where disasters hide predators and vulnerable women disappear unnoticed, someone has to make sure the dead are never forgotten.
