  In Rio Vista, California, Taylor Greene, the perfect son and heir to a fortune, dies in what is called a suicide. Two hundred miles away in an anonymous motel room, a federal agent waiting to meet Taylor has been murdered.

  Months later, Dane Rudd enters Rio Vista for a memorial to this young man whom he had never even met. Yet Dane seems to owe his life to Taylor Greene, for he was almost blinded in an accident and it's because of the donation of Taylor's corneas that he is able to see again.

  Soon Dane begins a journey through a pathway filled with liars, thieves, murderers and innocents - a fool's errand, and a dangerous hunt for truth. But he knows too well, that in every act of charity there may lie the heart of an executioner . . .

  Set in the California Delta, an eleven-thousand-mile maze of waterways and riverside towns, THE PRINCE OF DEADLY WEAPONS is a highly crafted literary thriller.
