| Summary: |
Single mom Zoe Hayes has a knack for being in the wrong place at the worst time like in the Schuylkill River late at night, clinging to a capsized sculling shell and surrounded by floating corpses. In her second Philadelphia adventure (after 2005's The Nanny Murders), Zoe, a therapist, and Susan, her best friend, have taken up rowing for pleasure and exercise, but their boating mishap dumps them among the casualties of a human trafficking ring. Homicide detective Nick Stiles, who now lives with Zoe and her six-year-old daughter, Molly, says he's on the case, but remains secretive, despite a break-in at their home and the carjacking of Susan's vehicle. As the bodies pile up, Zoe realizes the danger may be far closer than she previously imagined. |
