Murder By The Numbers: The Righteous ONE

Set against the backdrop of San Diego, Murder By The Numbers-The Righteous ONE, is a murder mystery that explores the world of the Enneagram, a personality typing system that is now being taught and used around the world by psychologists, therapists, counselors, teachers, religious leaders, writers, business executives, and a growing number of individuals, as a way of understanding human motivation and personality characteristics.

When a prominent psychologist and Enneagram author is found dead, the apparent victim of a mercy killing, San Diego's Portuguese-American chief-of-police, Eddie DeSilva, pairs up with Pauline Graham-a psychologist who uses the Enneagram personality typing system in her practice-to help prove the innocence of the victim's daughter. Having just lost his wife of thirty years and been forced to retire following an officer-involved shooting, DeSilva quickly locks horns with the new chief-of-police for "meddling in police affairs" as he tries to solve the murder and, with Pauline's help, comes to understand how the Enneagram can help explain some unhealthy choices-including his own.
