After all, Louise is a close friend of his ex. Maybe helping her out could improve Hannah's opinion of him. But before Cecil can make progress on the case, he witnesses Alaska state troopers fishing her body out of the ocean--not exactly the resolution he had in mind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDespite the unfortunate end his last client met, Cecil finds himself inundated with requests from all sides: his old friend, Officer Doggy, wants help controlling the grieving Hannah; Cecil's autistic roommate, Todd needs help finding his Labrador retriever; and the sleazy executives of Global Mining want dirt on a local environmental activist--a request even the bungling PI finds suspicious. But Cecil also feels a responsibility to discover the truth behind Louise's death. If Louise knew a secret that got her killed, Cecil needs to discover and expose the truth before he, too, is permanently silenced.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe former Writer Laureate of Alaska, \u003cb\u003eJohn Straley\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of ten novels.
