  A New York Times bestseller “combines well-rounded characterizations and brisk storytelling . . . for an entertaining and suspenseful” female sleuth thriller (Booklist). 
   
  In this “engrossing” (Publishers Weekly) suspense novel from New York Times–bestselling author J.A. Jance, journalist-turned-investigator Ali Reynolds unearths a cold case that puts her in danger from a deadly arsonist. 
   
  Lance Tucker, an incarcerated juvenile offender and talented hacker in his own right, is set on fire one night and severely burned while hanging Christmas decorations in a lockup rec room. B. Simpson, Ali Reynolds’s fiancé and the man who helped put Lance in jail, feels obliged to get to the bottom of what happened. With Ali off in England to help Leland Brooks at a reunion with his long-estranged family, B. turns to someone else to help out—Ali’s good friend and Taser-carrying nun, Sister Anselm. 
   
  Meanwhile, in Bournemouth—Leland’s hometown—Ali begins to investigate the decades-old murder of Leland’s father, which Leland himself was once suspected of committing. With unsolved murders on both sides of the Atlantic, Ali, B., and Sister Anselm are united by their search for answers—and the jeopardy they get into as a result.

  A man about to expose a criminal on Television is poisoned by a glass of water. Three other people, however, drank the water without ill effects! Boston Blackie and Mary Wesley seem to be settling in to watch a TV show with Inspector Faraday. As the set warms up they see Inspector Faraday and three other men seated around a table. Mary comments that the Inspector seems a little nervous as he keeps hitting the water pitcher, and so does another member of the panel. But Blackie explains it probably very warm under all those lights. As the show begins, a man by the name of Cyrus Baxter is introduced. He, too, drinks a glass of water and then begins to speak. After a few words, he appears to be choking and proceeds to keel over right into Inspector Faraday's lap.
