Description

Richard and Veronica Stevens retire early so they can pursue other interests. Shortly after moving to Daytona Beach, Florida Veronica gets involved with a local domestic abuse shelter. She works as a volunteer advocate. One day a young Mexican woman shows up at the shelter severely beaten and fearing for her life. Despite knowing it is against the shelter's code of conduct Veronica can't help but get personally involved. A decision that ultimately costs the volunteer her life. Veronica's bludgeoned body is found inside a sleazy beach side motel room by her husband, who ends up being charged with her murder. Readers are taken on a whirlwind ride through the seedy barrios of Chihuahua, Mexico and the glitz and glamour of South Beach. They visit the frozen tundra that is upstate New York in the dead of winter and travel the gang infested inner city neighborhoods of KC. The ride culminates on a luxury cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico. Along the way Richard Stevens is exonerated, the real killer is caught, and justice is served...
