Cliffs of Portofino
About this ebook
This edition of the Marin Ryan and John Hunter series is currently in the hands of a Hollywood screenwriter. Perhaps, it will interest you as well?
The tenacious Italian police detective has found his killer. All of the evidence—blood, ballistics, and fingerprints—implicate one person, Marin Ryan. The justice system is swift. She is convicted of murder and sentenced to life behind the heavy steel bars of an ancient Italian prison.
The victim’s wealthy father is not satisfied with the sentence. He wants her to experience a painful death behind those bars. His criminal connections will make it happen.
John Hunter won’t give up until his soul mate is freed from the wrongful conviction. Faced with crippling obstacles, the computer expert is in over his head. Marin’s family arrives in Portofino to help, and they won’t give up.
Reinvigorated, John follows a thin thread to a deserted beach on Majorca. The killer sends two bullets into John’s chest. Face down in the sand and bleeding out, his last thought is, “Mare, I’m sorry I let you down.”
Reader Review: “This is what reading is all about.”
