P is for Peril

Dr. Dowan Purcell disappeared nine weeks ago without a trace.

After bidding his coworkers at the Pacific Meadows nursing home good night, the 69-year-old doctor got in his vehicle and drove out, never to be seen again. Fiona, his resentful first wife, believes he is still alive. Crystal, his second wife and a former stripper who is forty years his younger, is equally certain he has passed away.

Kinsey Millhone, a private investigator Fiona hired to discover the truth about what really happened to the guy both ladies adored, enters the picture. And then there's Tommy Hevener, a twentysomething with flame-haired eyes who has his heart set on Kinsey. Before long, we learn that Tommy is a guy with a fascinating background. The term "peril"? It mostly pertains to Kinsey personally!
