So when the family's heir, Ro Curtlee, was convicted of rape and murder of a servant girl in the family home, the fallout against those responsible was swift and uncompromising.

And head homicide detective Abe Glitsky was reassigned to the police department's payroll office.
Then Ro"s laywers win him a retrial, and he's released. Within twenty-four hours,a fire kills the original trial's star witness, and her abused remains are discovered in the ashes. When a second fire claims another participant in the case, Abe is convinced that Ro is out for revenge. But with no hard evidence and on-the-take media eager to vilify any challenger, Abe find himself in the crosshairs, wondering how much more he can sacrifice in the name of justice
