Sun Valley sheriff Walt Fleming's budding relationship with photographer Fiona Kenshaw hits a rough patch after Fiona is involved in a heroic river rescue and she attempts to duck the press. Despite her job and her laudable actions, she begs Walt to keep her photo out of the paper and avoids him when he can't. Then Walt gets a phone call that changes everything: Seattle police sergeant Lou Boldt thinks a recent murder might have a Sun Valley connection....

Sun Valley sheriff Walt Fleming returns in this high-intensity thriller from the "New York Times"-bestselling author of "Killer View" and "Killer Weekend."

A shipping container full of Chinese immigrants, some dead, some alive, is picked up by the Coast Guard after a typhoon. Inspector Lou Boldt of the Seattle police is put on the case and discovers a Chinese smuggling ring which operates sweatshops and brothels.

An apparent suicide that may be murder, the disappearance of two women, the death of a road crew worker, and a Peeping Tom with a camera draw policemen John LaMoia and Lou Boldt, along with psychologist Daphne Matthews, into a tangled web that ends with a chase through Seattle's Underground.

An arsonist in Seattle is using rocket fuel to set fires so hot nothing is left to identify the victims. The victims are all divorced women, but their children are spared and the arsonist sends the fire department philosophical quotations. Detective Lou Bolt and police psychologist Daphne Matthews go to work. By the author of No Witness.
