Sharon McCone, who has faced and survived many personal
crises, must endure another long, dark journey after her
brother Joey takes his own life. Reeling from the anguish
and the perplexing reasons for Joey's suicide, Sharon
tries to escape through work.
On the surface, the new case seems straightforward enough.
Yet as the keen private investigator knows, it's often
what's hiding under the surface that's deadly. McCone is
asked to investigate another suicide, this one of Roger
Nagasawa, a talented young man who worked for an online
magazine that chronicled the new and hip in the Bay area.
Even with millions of dollars in venture capital backing
it, Insite is failing and the 'zine's management has
become so cutthroat that Roger evidently jumped off the
San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge rather than face another
day at the office. Or did something sinister behind the
scenes prod him to take the plunge?
The investigation hits achingly close to home as McCone
struggles to answer the questions that plague Roger's
grieving family. With her emotions sandblasted and her
reactions slowed, she fails to recognize the peril that
surrounds her as the case takes a violent twist.
From Roger's empty apartment to an eerie abandoned resort
on the San Francisco waterfront, McCone is caught in a
deadly battle to uncover the truth. And to survive, she
must confront the many painful secrets of her own
life...and a killer whose heart is as black as the
moonless bay.
