Review & Description
This is the fifth book in the Henry Wright Mystery Series. Henry Wright is a retired Chief of Police from tiny Eagle Lake, Wisconsin. He retired several months after his beloved wife's unexpected death and moved to California. He settled in Palm Springs at the request of his old friend Wayne Johnson, who is a captain in the Palm Springs police department. Henry spends a lot of his time at his computer helping the FBI profile victims of violent crimes. Wayne, and some of his other law enforcement colleagues request his assistance solving the most difficult times. Henry lives with his roommate, retired high school teacher Charles Knightly III. (Please don't call him Chuck.)
Henry is just about to return to Palm Springs from a wonderful mini-vacation at his friend Gloria's home in California's Sierra Nevada Gold Country when his friend Wayne Johnson calls him to say his friend and roommate Charles Knightly III has been severely injured by a hit-and-run driver and is in a coma in Desert Hospital.
Henry and Gloria rush home to be with Charles and help Wayne figure out if this was an accident or did someone set out to murder Charles? What is in Charles' past that someone now wants him dead?
