The Righteous ONE
An Enneagram Mystery
A page-turning murder mystery set in San Diego where Richard grew up.
When Eddie DeSilva, San Diego’s first Portuguese-American chief of police, is forced into retirement following an officer-involved shooting, he pairs up with psychologist Pauline Graham to prove the innocence of a woman charged with the mercy-killing of her dying father. A hospice nurse enamored with euthanasia, the murder victim’s trophy wife and a psychiatrist collaborating on his next book on the Enneagram—a psychological typing system—are among the suspects in this first in the Enneagram Mystery series.

Sailing back to San Diego after six months in Baja, Eddie DeSilva is caught in a storm and saved from almost certain death by a stowaway who is wanted by the San Diego police for murdering his wife. With the aid of psychologist and Enneagram practitioner Pauline Graham, DeSilva tries to prove his rescuer’s innocence in a story that explores the plight of illegal immigrants drawn to live and work in America’s Finest City.
