Swan Dive

Tough Boston private eye John Cuddy accepts a simple job as a bodyguard in a divorce case but soon finds himself the prime suspect in a murder investigation. A "mislaid" suitcase of cocaine adds to the confusion, because the rightful owners believe that Cuddy knows its whereabouts and they are not averse to using violence to recover their property. Instead of the easy work he had expected keeping peace in the matrimonial home, Cuddy discovers that he has become embroiled in murder, fraud and betrayal. Jeremiah Healy has written previous novels featuring John Cuddy including "The Tethered Goat" and "So Like Sleep".
