BLUE (As In Dead): A Harry Simmons Mystery

By David Zeigler

Say your husband dies mysteriously, wouldn't you want the one million buck insurance settlement you are entitled to? Seattle insurance investigator Harry Simmons has to find out why a widow, a Roman History professor at the University of Washington, is trying to avoid the money at all costs. And who has hired Nikki Yamamoto, top-tier criminal defense attorney to help Harry? Or is she supposed to distract him, which she easily does? Then people begin to shoot at Harry, not accurately, but enough to annoy him and make him more determined to find out what's going on. When Harry declines a bribe, the campus cop offering it ends up murdered, and you guessed it, Harry is the prime suspect. Before long, the heavily guarded widow is raped and strangled, and her daughter kidnapped. Who commits that unusual combination of crimes? After almost being killed himself, Harry eventually ties the ends together in the sometimes lethal utility tunnels under the UW campus. David Zeigler has worked in Canadian logging camps, served in the U.S. Marine Corps, been a high school history teacher and worked in the legal department of Fireman's Fund Insurance Company. He lives in Seattle with his wife, and is writing the next Harry Simmons mystery, "RED (As In Blood)"
