Harbor Chase - Paperback

by K. M. Umbricht (Author)

Trouble Comes Knocking Again at the Spring House's Door Miranda Elice (Em) Huber's divorce from the philandering professor and the purchase of the Spring House have left her strapped for cash (bye-bye 401k). Em's new competitive research consulting business is in serious jeopardy, as is the safety of her family. One client is murdered, another is missing along with their game changing solar plans. Em's day begins with a firebomb tossed onto the cobblestones in front of her country home-a warning to stop searching for her client and his invention. To save her business, Em picks up the trail of a missing witness. To do this she enlists her college aged fitness nut daughter Deanna and her best friend Sandy. Did the unknown woman do a runner, or is she floating face down in the river on her way to Long Island Sound? Are Em's business and love life jinxed? Or is she just waiting to mix business with pleasure? Michael Halloran, director of a covert federal agency, seeks critical solar plans and is on the hunt for the killer of his second in command from a human trafficking raid. A hurricane stirs up New Haven Harbor revealing a body partially encased in cement. While Mike and Em team up to unravel a conspiracy to steal American high technology trade secrets, Mike must decide if he wants to take this partnership further. Will Em let him?
