Daniel McBride is a wealthy restaurateur in Naples, Florida. When
his Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor, Harmon Hesse, is found murdered,
Daniel becomes BCI's primary person of interest. Daniel was seen
quarreling with Hesse shortly before the murder. Fingerprints put
Daniel at the scene of the murder, and blood evidence found in
Daniel's SUV link him to Hesse's DNA. While struggling to maintain
his sobriety, he examines the motives of his gay business partner
who's in economic crisis, a house guest who's having a steamy
sexual affair with BCI's Detective Carmen Sanchez, and a wife who
may be carrying on an affair while running for mayor. As Daniel
transitions from suspect to defending himself on a courtroom
witness stand, the past secrets of all these characters come to the
fore. The trial will reveal the murderer but not before everyone
confronts their darkest histories. This tale of alcohol, murder,
and deception is a dramatic mystery which shows the impossibility
of escaping the past. This lively book maintains a hard-boiled
dialogue and taut plot. First-time author Pete Jensen drew on his
own experience as a recovering alcoholic with an AA sponsor much
like Harmon Hesse. He lives in Naples, Florida, and draws upon his
extensive local knowledge to paint a portrait of both the glamorous
and seamier edges of the city on the southern edge of the state's
Gulf Coast.
