"In the throes of a rough election season, the wife of the town's slickest politician goes missing from the ferry. Victor Fox's chief opponent vows he'll do anything to topple Victor's iron-fisted reign. Could that include kidnapping Fox's wife? Then, Priscilla hears rumors that Victor was seeing another woman -- and that "other" woman was on the same ferry as Fox's wife when she vanished. Did Betty Fox take her own life -- or meet with foul play? As Priscilla digs further into Betty's disappearance, she realizes that finding answers might prove to be her greatest challenge yet. Meanwhile, Fox's political opponent solicits Priscilla's help on his campaign. However, Priscilla soon wonders if Tony McClaren's intentions go beyond enlisting another campaign volunteer. Can Priscilla convince him -- and Captain Gerald O'Bannon -- that she is extending Tony nothing more than a helping hand?"--Page [4] of cover.
