Monica's Sister

by Earl Emerson

Overview

In the thirteenth installment of the award-winning private eye series featuring Seattle sleuth Thomas Black, Black agrees to do a favor for a longtime friend of Kathy's, Angela Bassman, who quickly gets him tangled in a messy relationship between philandering billionaire, Clark Lloyd Self and his famous ex-model wife, Monica Pennington. Bassman wants Black to help her disrupt the already shaky marriage, while Black wants nothing to do with it. Complications ensue when Self's gargantuan Rhodes-scholar bodyguard and his sniggering buddy begin harassing Black and Bassman. When Bassman ends up dead, her sister hires Black to delve into her last weeks, sending Black on a Byzantine odyssey in which he almost loses his life and ends up discovering more about each sister's mysterious past than either of them ever wanted him to know.
