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. While simultaneously dealing with multiple personal crises, Lisa finds herself sucked into an underbelly that threatens not only her life, but the lives of her wife and friends. No one is safe.

The May trial of Chase Bromley grabbed the attention of not only Bostonians, but the entire country as well. While the Hernandez trial was garnering attention, and certainly the Marathon Bombing case in federal court a few doors down, the rape, torture, and murder of Sloane Nichols was in the national spotlight.

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...
