    About this audiobook

    When treasure hunter Jim Weir comes home to California after an expedition in the waters of Mexico, he finds not treasure but disaster. His lovely sister, Ann, has been found murdered, apparently by someone who knew her. The investigation yields little and Weir—a former cop in Newport—finds that his old department friends are not eager to help him look into the killing. But he dives for truth as he dives for treasure, and he finds that although Ann's husband, Raymond, is the prime suspect, Ann was also carrying on a very private second life with a very public man.

    "Parker transmutes familiar themes into a powerful, meticulously orchestrated novel...where every note, every chord builds toward a violent climax and moral coda."
    —Washington Post

    "T. Jefferson is a powerhouse writer."
    —The New York Times Book Review

    "A tense thriller that builds to an astonishing payoff!"
    —Playboy

      An excellent story by a great writer. Somehow I missed this one when it came out but glad I found it. Loved the OC setting (since I live there), the characters, and of course the wonderful writing. Nothing is as it seems and only after reaching the final pages do all the personal and political intrigues come together. Don't miss this one.DP Lyle, Award-winning author of the Samantha Cody and Dub Walker thriller series
