Rent Motive, The (Dismas Hardy)

Synopsis

This legal/police thriller is the 13th to feature San Francisco police detective Abe Glitsky and defense attorney Dismas "Diz" Hardy. After someone sets Paul Hanover’s Victorian home ablaze, firefighters find the bodies of Paul Hanover and his fianc'e inside. Sergeant Dan Cuneo is the first homicide investigator tapped to find the culprit. However, the mayor wants someone more senior working the case, and also assigns Abe Glitsky to it, a situation that doesn’t sit well with Cuneo. To make matters worse, Cuneo’s primary suspect is Catherine Hanover, the former college girlfriend of Glitsky’s close friend, "Diz." While Hardy puts together a defense for Catherine, Glitsky conducts his own search for evidence to exonerate her.
