| A troubled Mary Ann Walker takes a nosedive off a bridge. Seattle's police department macho man John LaMoia takes the call, along with the beauteous cop psychologist Daphne Matthews. They suspect her boyfriend, known to beat Mary Ann. Her seething brother, Ferrell, is convinced the boyfriend did the deed. But the case somehow becomes too slippery to close.
Lou Boldt, the supervising officer, is entangled in a conundrum of his own: two women have disappeared and a road crew worker's death may have a connection to the missing women. A peeper who's photographing undressed women at tourist hotels becomes Boldt's best suspect, along with a man who is stalking and terrifying Daphne.
As both cases heat up, so does the sexual tension between Matthews and LaMoia leading them both into unknown emotional territory. A hair-raising chase through Seattle's Underground, a little-known network of hundred-year-old streets that were paved over by the city decades ago, brings the story to its white-knuckle climax. |

A Great Read.

I enjoyed this book.
Great tale, (un)happy ending Anonymous Posting on January 30 2008
I have read every Ridley Pearson book, and really appreciate his
depth of characters, and descriptions. He nails it for emotion
and strength. I confess, for the main characters this ended OK
but would have liked a different ending for the rest of the ‘cast‘
yet it was a great ‘read‘ regardless. He sure got into LaMoia in a
way we‘ve never seen. Matthews as well. It was a treat to have
their characters open to so much fine, fine emotion and caring.
