"M" is for money. Lots of it. "M" is for Malek Construction,
the $40 million company that grew out of modest soil to
become one of the big three in California construction, one
of the few still in family hands.
"M" is for the Malek family: four sons now nearing middle
age who stand to inherit a fortune—four men with very
different outlooks, temperaments, and needs, linked only by
blood and money. Eighteen years ago, one of them—angry,
troubled, and in trouble—went missing.
"M" is for Millhone, hired to trace that missing black sheep
brother.
"M" is for memories, none of them happy. The bitter memories
of an embattled family. This prodigal son will find no
welcome at his family's table. "M" is for malice.
And in brutal consequence, "M" is for murder, the
all-too-common outcome of familial hatreds.
