Deathstorm is Gillespie s eighth mys-
tery this one featuring Ralph Simmons,
a retired newspaper executive and
amateur sleuth.
Ralph and his young friend Eileen
Engelhart are guests aboard a yacht
sailing in Long Island s Little Neck Bay
when a deafening explosion erupts
from the mainland, followed by a thick
column of smoke rising from the
Engelhart residence. Frantic with fear,
they return to find Eileen s father--an
eccentric inventor--dead as the blaze
turns into a firestorm, sweeping across
the wealthy community of Savage Point.
Local residents who resented the odd-
ball irlventor, maintain the devastation
was caused by the old man tinkering
with chemical agents. But her daughter
believes otherwise and Ralph is willing
to investigate furthe~ Soon he stumbles
on disturbing information concerning
Engelhart s connection to a fellow con-
script in the German army during World
War II and the Holocaust.
Then more strands of evidence accu-
mulate. A white rose was apparently
sent to the old man just before his
demise. And when Ralph meets the
widow of a titled Englishman and her
son, another killing occurs in a violent
New Year s Eve rainstorm.
This tingling story of murders masquer-
ading as acts of God charts the down-
fall of an upper class family whose bur-
ied past is only now beginning to churn
up disastrous consequences.
