When Michael Campion, the beloved teenage son of a past governor, mysteriously disappears, Detective Lindsay Boxer becomes embroiled in discovering if the famous boy, born with an incurable heart defect, is alive or dead. A break in the case leads to a sensational trial -- with a most intense outcome.

At the same time all this is going on, Lindsay and her partner, Rich Conklin, are also trying to apprehend the vicious killer(s) who's torching extravagant homes with the affluent owners still inside. Lindsay calls on her friends in the Women's Murder Club -- Claire, Cindy and Yuki -- for help in ascertaining the identity of the arsonist(s). This places them all in danger as they come closer to the truth.

James Patterson and Maxine Paetro give readers another great addition to this thrilling suspense series.
