The Kind Worth Saving
Synopsis
Private investigator Henry Kimball takes on what looks like a routine job: tail a client's possibly unfaithful husband and document his movements.
But the woman who hired him, Joan, is a face from Henry's past — tied to a tragedy from his earlier life as a high-school English teacher — and the surveillance quickly curdles into something far darker than infidelity.
As bodies and lies accumulate, the trail loops back toward Lily Kintner, the coolly lethal woman Henry has never quite stopped thinking about. The second Henry Kimball / Lily Kintner novel is a devious psychological thriller of buried guilt, mutual obsession, and the thin line between the killers and the people chasing them.
