About This Book

A seasoned detective encounters an old adversary who issues a thinly veiled threat, recalling a prior investigation that sent two accomplices to prison while a third escaped conviction and vanished. Shortly afterward he is urgently summoned to a wealthy couple’s Riverside home, where a hereditary collection of silver and gold plate has been stolen. With two trusted assistants he pieces together the case against a backdrop of past betrayals and abductions, pursuing leads that suggest the resurfaced antagonist may be tied to the recent theft.
