Free Fall (Eli Katz, San Francisco PI Book 1)

San Francisco, 1995. A missing husband, his beautiful and distraught wife, a hated name from the past, a pair of seedy cops, assorted lowlifes, the greedy rich--characters in a case I should have avoided but couldn't resist. But I was over-anxious. Before the first day was finished I walked in to a trap, was shot and left for dead. Following were months of recovery, guilt, and finally facing life again. But a chance encounter on a European street brought it all back, and I understood what happened and why. All I had to do was return home and finish it, facing the same people who had nearly finished me the first time around.
