Former Houston homicide detective Steve Smiley is faced with a dilemma. His college roommate, attorney Ned Logan, is found at the bottom of his exercise pool. The cops think it’s an accident. Steve’s instinct tells him it’s not. But how to prove it? He needs eyes…and a driver.
Heather McBlythe is starting over, again. She’s hoping she will be able to make it through the Police Academy and start her new life before her father’s minions find her. She meets Steve Smiley, an instructor at the Academy, and he presents an interesting proposition to her. When her father’s long arm of influence gets her kicked out of the Academy, Heather needs a place to hide. Smiley’s unorthodox proposition is the perfect answer.
Smiley and McBlythe team up to investigate the murder of Ned Logan. At every turn in the road, they unearth another secret. Who has motive enough for murder? Ned’s wife? His children? The business partner? When the killer takes a shot at Steve, they know they’re getting close. Can they unravel the myriad of secrets before the killer strikes again?
