Death Is Forever — Maxine O'Callaghan

Delilah West was a broken woman...Her world had been smashed to pieces the day she found her husband shot and bleeding to death on the beach near her home. Now she lived for the day when she would face his killer. Obsessed by revenge, she combed southern California. She wandered blindly through the tawdry Los Angeles underworld. Then one day she found the murderer. But she was too late. Someone else had found him first. Someone else had killed him.
