Even after I recover from my illness in the "Missing Daughter Case," my father keeps me on a short leash, and it's driving me mad. He even roped Blake Broadmore into his overprotective plans, asking him to keep new cases from landing in my lap.
But when a cryptic message arrives from my childhood friend, Jimmy Wilder, I sense that it's connected to Blake's latest investigation. Against my better judgment—and my father's wishes—I head to Annalanda, arriving just in time to battle a raging fire. It's not the flames that unsettle me; it's the grim news that someone perished in that blaze.
Is Blake's case linked to Jimmy's dilemma? And worse, could this mysterious fire have claimed my friend's life?
