A massive restaurant fire in the North End of Boston takes down an entire city block. Office buildings. Apartments. The death toll staggering. The suspected cause is arson. While the police and fire department conduct their investigations, the insurance company holding the paper on the restaurant executes a parallel investigation using Lisa Sheed, a private investigator in a small but sought-after firm. Only Lisa’s investigation uncovers much more than possible insurance fraud. The fire investigation leads to another case. And another.

Lara Myhre is a beautiful college senior and about to become the latest world musical sensation. Her abilities as a guitarist are only surpassed by the beauty of her voice. The world is about to fall in love with her. If she can be found. Once they realize she is missing, her parents alert both the Massachusetts State Police in Boston, but aren't taken seriously. College students go missing all of the time, they are told. They sometimes take a time-out or go away with friends. They will turn-up.

Warren Dennihan is a Boston Investigator hired by Lara's parents to find her, then to find out what happened to the world's favorite daughter once her body is found. The few clues left by the murderer lead to more bodies and more devastation in the wake of a birth-right. More lives short of their promise. More souls ebb out to oblivion.

Nichols, the former girlfriend of the accused, had been murdered in her own apartment the previous fall. There was no sign of forced entry, meaning Nichols knew her killer. The forensic e...

What seemed originally to be a simple yet horrific drunk driving incident, turns out to be a cross-country search for the truth.
