There are those who don't deserve to live, and the corpse floating in Elliot Bay may have been one of those people. Not surprisingly, many individuals-too many, in fact-are eager to take responsibility for the brutal slaying of the hated biotech executive whose alleged crimes ranged from the illegal trading of industrial secrets to rape. For Seattle Detective J P Beaumont, who's drowning in his own life-shattering problems, a case of seemingly justifiable homicide has sinister undertones, drawing the haunted policeman into a corporate nightmare of double deals, savage jealousies, and real blood spilled far too easily, as it leads him close to a killer he's not sure he wants to find.
