Synopsis

Curtis had to have his handgun

close enough he could reach it.

even now, even retired and paraplegic,

even in his own bedroom.

There were too many people who

wanted to kill him. That wasn't

paranoia; that was fact.

It starts like any other Thursday

Deb Ralston and her friends Jeanne

and Sue, who call themselves "The

Thursday Club," go for a short jog in

the quiet of the early morning. What

they find upon their return, however,

horrifies them: Jeanne's husband,

Curtis Minot, has been shot to

death in his bed. The gun lies below

his own hand, but Deb is sure it is

cold-blooded murder.

In the hours and days that

follow, two more people are somehow

killed in Jeanne's home, and

the chain of events baffles even

Deb, a seasoned police officer.

Details of Curtis's shady business

dealings emerge, and the cast of

characters widens to include Kenneth,

the Minots' strangely nonchalant

twelve-year-old son; Daniel

Ellis, Curtis's mysterious business

partner; Nudara Akhbar, whose imprisoned

but seemingly innocent

husband has a connection with

Curtis; and a host of others.
