Leo’s boyhood hero, Henry “Heck” Sundstrom, was larger than life. Lately, however, Heck’s life has been spiraling out of control. First there was the honeymoon boating accident that killed Heck’s son and new daughter-in-law, Allison. And now the big man himself is dying—struck down by a delivery truck in a seedy section of Seattle. As he investigates, Leo begins to wonder if Allison went down with the ship. And whether, with the aid of his aging legmen, “the Boys,” he can prove the “late” Mrs. Heck is more alive—and lethal—than anyone ever suspected.

"This is the second in the Leo Waterman series - Seattle mystery solver. Love the story, love the characters, love the setting and the author's cute, too. Can't wait for Number 3. (reviewed in 1996)"
