In Sonoma County, California, private investigator Jeri Howard fears the charred body on a burned
out boat is her brother Brian since his Medic Alert bracelet was found on the
vessel and his wife said her husband headed for a camping trip in the
area. However, when the remains prove to
be someone else, the missing school teacher becomes a police person of
interest.
Jeri refuses to accept the detectives’ theory that Brian set fire
to the boat after killing the victim.
Though she wonders if his marriage is on the rocks leading to his
rustication, the PI also believes her sibling is in danger from whoever the
real killer is though she remains unsure whether he witnessed the actual
homicide. Jeri hopes to find Brian
before the murderer or the local cops do.
The eleventh Jeri Howard mystery (see Where The Bodies Are Buried,
A Killing At The Track and Bit Player) is a thrilling suspense. Accompanying a frightened, concerned Jeri,
readers feel the haunting and taunting dread sitting in the protagonist’s gut
while her search to locate her brother turns increasingly desperate.
