But at the cliff top Ivar stopped, and John Ferguson watched as he tied one end of the rough woven rope around his hips and the other to a metal spike driven into the rock and lowered himself over the side of the cliff. - Clear by Carys Davies

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

John “Scottie” Ferguson is a San Francisco police detective who is forced to retire after a rooftop chase leaves him with severe vertigo, acrophobia, and survivor’s guilt.

Midge Wood is Scottie’s ex-fiancee from their college days and a successful underwear designer who still loves Scottie but has settled into their comfortable friendship.

Scottie and Midge are driven apart by Scottie’s involvement with a mysterious, off-the-records case that leads him to chase a married woman all over San Francisco under suspicion that she is going to commit suicide. Though Midge supports Scottie and helps him with his case, she fears for his safety and tries to encourage him to give up the case when he becomes far too involved. However, Scottie’s sanity will be put on the line after his client seemingly does commit suicide, and Midge’s loyalty is put to the test as it seems she will lose Scottie forever.
