Mystery Police Procedural
Gregor Demarkian returns in a mindbending case of death and
disappearance amongst the wealthy suburban elite. In Waldorf Pines, a very rich, gated suburb of Philadelphia,
ostentation and pretension are the order of the day. But
even by the local standards, Martha Heydrich is a stone cold
pain. She’s the stay-at-home wife of a very rich husband,
drives a pink sports car everywhere and is on all the
prominent local committees. She’s fake, into everybody’s
business and is rumored to be having an affair with a local
teenager, Michael Platte. One morning she seemingly vanishes
from her house and later that night her husband Arthur
returns home to find the pool house ablaze. Once the fire is extinguished, the police discover two
bodies—one is Michael Platte and the other, too damaged to
be recognizable, is presumed to be Martha Heydrich. The
police think they know what happened—that Arthur killed his
wife and her lover over the affair. But then the DNA results
come back and the second body isn’t Martha’s at all, it is
an unknown man. With their theory in tatters, and Martha
nowhere to be found, the police to turn to ex-FBI agent
Gregor Demarkian to help them unravel this most puzzling of
cases.
