More about the book
A rich man's teenage daughter has disappeared, and for some reason, people in high places are getting nervous. Sergeant Fraleigh, a homicide cop, is put on the case and promptly violates the first directive of police work: he gets involved with a beautiful suspect. Publisher’s description: “Out in Silicon Valley the microchips grow as quietly as the piles of money being made by the high-tech new rich. And Adolph Stone is as rich as any of them. He’s also a slumlord and a friend of the lieutenant governor. So when his beautiful 16-year-old daughter is missing, Sergeant Fraleigh of the homicide squad and his team (the Block, the human equivalent of a tank, and Detective English, who looks like Robert Redford and suffers from bad dreams about Vietnam) are called into action … Fraleigh finds himself ensnarled in a network of relationships built on dirty money and dirty secrets, a network that reaches to the top at the state capitol and deep inside Fraleigh’s own police department …”
