Water Signs — Janet Dawson

Oakland, California, is a city shaped by water. The waterfront, home to the ship and rail yards, is also ripe for development. Thereââ,¬â"¢s lots of money to be made, so greed and crime inevitably follow. PI Jeri Howard looks into the murder of a former coworker who was a security guard at a construction site on the Embarcadero. It was a surprise when Cal Bradyââ,¬â"¢s body washed up on the Estuary shoreline. But Jeri is certain Calââ,¬â"¢s death was no accident, and sheââ,¬â"¢s determined to find out who killed him, and why.
