In a World of Hurt - Paperback

by Linda McDonald (Author)

After Ellababe Lindsay and her husband Tim see their start-up restaurant go bankrupt, like so many other businesses during the Covid shutdown, they divorce. Now she isolates, struggling to restart her life. But her ex sinks into old, reckless habits, just before he abruptly goes missing. Ortiz Delroy, a former Marine, now P.I., questions her and realizes Tim's secrets are a threat to her as well. Money is missing and threatening people are looking for it.

Then Tim is discovered, drowned, in a river only miles from Ellababe's home. As Ortiz digs deeper, he puts himself in danger as well. A political-minded D.A. and a ruthless prosecutor with curious ties to the victim's family, impede the investigation. It will take a brave ex-employee, a dangerous homeless woman, and a parent's honesty to finally solve this twisting crime.
