Eye of the Storm Summary
|
Private detective and ex-soldier Aila Jallay doesn't trust men. When her friend and self-defense student Carla asks Aila to serve divorce papers on Carla's difficult husband, Aila is happy to agree--and to come up with a clever way of getting through the man's defenses. But when Carla's body is found days later, victim of an apparent bicycle 'accident,' Aila realizes that the is partly to blame. Carla's husband, Roger Smyth-Cony, is running for US Senate. A divorce would look bad. A widower, though would get a sympathy vote. But Aila can't get the police to even consider the possibility of murder. Detective Jerry Miller has no use for private detectives. They grandstand, get in the way of serious investigation, and pull him away from real work. When his boss sends him to lean on Aila and make her back off from her paranoid dreams, Jerry is happy enough to go along--until Aila shows him the photos she took--photos that picture Smyth-Cony in a very different perspective than the family man and all-around good-guy image he's presenting to the public. Jerry provides a bit of help to Aila, under the table. But when his help explodes, the two of them become hunted outlaws. Surviving depends on trusting one another--and trust is what Aila is worst at. |
