Cold Water Burning

After years on the job as a private investigator in Sitka, Alaska, Cecil Younger doesn't claim to have learned much about humanity as a whole, but he does know this: truth is a slippery thing.

When the wife of a former client asks Cecil to find her husband, Cecil agrees. After all, helping to get Richard exonerated during a tragic murder trial three years ago was one of the biggest successes of Cecil's career. But why, if Richard's name was cleared, is he MIA now? Patricia, Richard's steadfast wife, has one guess: someone is after him. It's no secret that Richard has a long list of enemies, not least of which are the family members of the dead. But things soon get complicated when Patricia is killed, sending Cecil on a desperate trip to sea to chase down the twisted truth.
