From the publisher (source: The Internet Book List):
There had been many deaths among the fishermen since Peter Hurd declared himself boss of the waterfront...but this was different. The killer struck without warning, without reason - and his victims were usually women. There was:MARIA: A greedy widow who tried to sell what she had to the highest bidder - and made the mistake of asking the wrong man. LIL: A two-timing schemer whose body was too beautiful to end up in that clumsy, bloody sprawl beside her bed. JO: Whose only mistake was marrying the wrong man and being loyal to him. Barney had gone home to the fishing village because his brother was in trouble with Hurd - but this kind of trouble he never figured on...or that he would be the most logical suspect.
