EIGHT THOUSAND MILES FROM BOSTON the badly decomposed body of an American tourist has been found floating in the sea … but who is he? Who killed him? And why?
While on vacation in Thailand, Lucy strengthens her resolve to get away from the ‘mausoleum’, which is how she thinks of the office – but little does she know that she’s about to do better than that — Kane’s going to deputize her as his temporary assistant investigator, something she couldn’t have anticipated in her wildest dreams. Well, perhaps her wildest dreams…She befriends Dale Porter, a fellow American living in the Philippines; but her idyllic break is cut short when Dale is arrested for murder on his return to Manila. She enlists Kane’s assistance and they both head to the Philippines to look for answers, where together they set out to solve the mystery of a man’s body found floating in the sea and to try to prove that Dale was not responsible for his death.
