Synopsis

Returning to Seattle after a business trip, retired PI Leo Waterman is shocked to find his girlfriend, Rebecca Duvall, unconscious on the bathroom floor, her house filled with gas. Officials believe it was a suicide attempt in the wake of a humiliating scandal. Under investigation for dereliction of duty, she'd been suspended from her job as medical examiner for King County. Leo knows Rebecca too well—and is determined to prove her innocence and clear her name. Most important, he wants to find out who tried to kill her.Despite the prosecuting attorney's claims of a solid case, Leo rounds up his ragtag team of miscreants to find the truth. The investigation leads straight to The Highlands. There, behind the locked doors of one of Seattle's most exclusive gated communities, old money can afford to bury older family secrets. But for Leo, unearthing them is going to trap him in a conspiracy that is deadlier, and far more personal, than he feared.

What is it about G M Ford's novels that make them worth reading? Aside from fairly well-crafted plots and interesting characters, it's the low viscosity wordsmithery. Within a few pages, one becomes oriented. A few more pages and you are standing at Leo's side watching the action or, if you are imag......more

Goodreads review by Valerie on January 11, 2018

Until I had won a Kindle version of this book from Goodreads, I had never read any of G.M. Ford's books. This is number ten in his private investigator series featuring Leo Waterman, and I thoroughly enjoyed it; so much so that I made a mental note to myself to read some of the other books in this s......more

Goodreads review by Ann on August 18, 2017

This is at least book 9 or 10 in the Leo Waterman Mystery series. Set in Seattle, Leo is coming home on Valentine's Day to celebrate with Rebecca when he finds her unconscious in their home filled with gas. Doctors rule it attempted suicide but Leo knows better. Together with his friends, the retire......more

Goodreads review by rebecca O. webber on March 31, 2019

I’m still grappling with the back story changes. This was an okay mystery that claimed Leo and Rebecca never lived together. Well, there’s at least two books that don’t support that claim. Carl Cradduck has his new back story—Bosnia versus drunken driver for his injuries. This was one of the weaker p......more
