The Financial Husband - Paperback

by H. K. Finley (Author)

Anna Blue isn't sure what wakes her up Halloween night, but something compels her to take her paddleboard out onto the calm water of Delphi Pond. There she finds Warren Mitchell, disgraced financial advisor, struggling to keep his head above water and anchored to the bottom of the pond.

Detective Bill Brass isn't surprised-concerned, yes, but not surprised-to discover that Anna's involved in what happened at the pond. He's got a soft spot for the teenager, whose young age belies a keen, analytical mind. Nor is he surprised that Mitchell, known for bilking the vulnerable out of their life savings, has finally incurred someone's wrath.

As for who went to such extraordinary lengths to terrify-or possibly attempt to murder-the scheming financial advisor, Brass doesn't want for suspects. Anyone Mitchell conned has motive, including three widows who can't quite account for where they were that night. And what to make of the pagan altar Anna finds by the pond? Does that have any connection to the case?

Fast-moving and filled with twists and revelations, The Financial Husband continues the adventures of Brass and Anna, both of whom remain unsatisfied with the outcome of The Worthy Cause.
