Cape quickly realizes he's screwed if he doesn't find out what really happened on board the ship.From BooklistWhen the crew of a ship carrying hundreds of Chinese refugees is murdered, PI Cape Weathers, a former cop, immediately suspects it's the work of a professional assassin. But Cape's investigation is hampered by the fact that his partner, Sally (who happens to be a trained assassin), is missing.
