OAKLAND. A CITY SHAPED BY WATER.

BY MONEY, GREED – AND MURDER.

Jeri Howard worked at an Oakland private investigator firm before she set out on her own. Her former colleague Cal Brady had a history with the bottle. It didn’t end well. That’s why he’s not a private eye anymore.

But Cal reclaimed his life with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous. Now he’s a security guard at a construction site on Oakland’s gritty waterfront. Then Cal’s body washes up in the estuary. Did he fall off the wagon and into the water?

His daughter Madison isn’t buying that story. She thinks Cal was murdered. She wants Jeri to find out what really happened.

Home to ship and rail yards, the waterfront is changing at a breathtaking pace. Long-abandoned industrial sites are being transformed into apartments, condos, and retail spaces. Money to be made, hand over fist. And unscrupulous people doing business their way, ready to push aside anyone who gets in their way.

Jeri delves into what’s happening on the waterfront. What she discovers convinces her that Cal was murdered. But how to prove it?

"A haunting look at Oakland's past clashing with its future. What I love about Dawson's mystery is the deep connection to old California and the battle to save it..." -- Lise McClendon, Blackbird Fly
