The last of the Joe Copp books. Too bad, I liked all of them. Tis one involves Joe waking up in a hospital with no clue how or why he is there. His amnesia is shortlived coming back slowly. One of the tihings he finds out is sometime recently he had gotten married and his wife was dead. Now he has to find out who killed her and why. The plot twists and turns and by the time it ends more people are dead.
