Dark tide rising
(Large Print)

Sequel to: An echo of murder.

Local businessman Harry Exeter doesn't want the aid of the Thames River Police in tracking down the men who kidnapped his wife, Kate, only their help in navigating Jacob's Island, a mass of decrepit buildings where he will hand off a large sum of money in exchange for her life. When they arrive at the meeting place, Commander Monk and five of his best men are attacked from all sides, and Monk is left wondering who could have given away their plans-- and why anyone would want to harm Kate Exeter. As Monk follows leads, it seems inevitable that one of his own men has betrayed him. Even as they identify one of the kidnappers, Monk must choose between his own safety and the chance to solve the case. -- Adapted from publisher's description.
