Dark Tide Rising by Anne PerryMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
When Exeter ask for Monk's help after his wife is kidnapped Monk is happy to give it remembering the fear he felt when Hester was kidnapped, but when the ransom delivery goes awry Monk is left to wonder which of his men betrayed them.
Loath to believe that it was Hooper Monk digs into his past and learns of an accused mutiny that could have Hooper hanging if Monk can't find the evidence to clear him. And when Exeter uses Hooper's past to blackmail Celia Darwin (a young woman Hooper is romantically interested in and Kate Exeter's best friend) into giving him an alibi. It's only Hooper's willingness to sacrifice himself that allows justice to be served and Exeter convicted of killing his wife, as well as his accomplice Lister and the Bookkeeper (Bella Franken) that discovered Exeter's need for his wife's money.
