When he reaches port, DeSilva gets a chance to return the favor: Four months earlier, the wife of his rescuerâa victim of domestic violence hiding in a womenâs shelterâturned up dead on her kitchen fl oor, her throat slit with a kitchen knife. Her husband, charged with her murder, has disappeared . . . until he shows up on DeSilvaâs boat. Despite the overwhelming evidence of his guilt, DeSilva doggedly sets out to prove his rescuerâs innocence, and in the process uncovers hidden aspects of the victimâs life.Pauline Graham, a psychologist on the board of directors of the womenâs shelter where the murder victim was residing, is conducting her own investigation into alleged fi nancial improprieties at the non-profi t. Her interest in DeSilva, a widower and former client, is not entirely professional, and as they resume their ill-defi ned but evolving relationship, their investigations inevitably intersect in a sinister and twisted scenario in which the hunters become the hunted. Set against the colorful background of San Diego, this second novel in the Eddie DeSilva series, is a pageturning murder mystery with an edge."
