The future looks great for David and Rebecca Collier. They are moving into more creative careers and moving to a beach house north of San Francisco. But life is altered considerably one day when Rebecca answers the door to a stranger, who calmly raises a silenced pistol and shoots her dead. In the subsequent chase, David is wounded. He will never walk without a limp and he is nearly deaf when not wearing his rather temperamental hearing aid. He's plagued by questions, most significantly: Why would anyone want to kill Rebecca? She was the sweetest person in the world---a photographer doing a photo/essay piece on "Northern California Mansions of the '30s." Someone wants him dead, too---a second attempt on his life is made before he even gets out of the hospital. With the help of Chuck, his best friend from high school and a cop, David is determined to find the man who killed his beloved wife. Eventually they discover that Rebecca's murder appears to be tied to one of the old houses she photographed, which guards a mysterious operation by some very dangerous men. Steve Carlson's debut mystery is a thrilling, emotional ride that signals a new and energetic talent in crime fiction.
