Thousands of bikers have descended on the Miracle Strip in Panama City for one of America's premiere biker rallies, but a storm is blowing in.

Michael Lister is the author of the Blood series featuring prison chaplain/detective John Jordan, and a second series featuring Jimmy "Soldier" Riley, a PI in Panama City during Word War II.
