  When private investigator Ivan Monk takes a case set in a public housing project, he finds himself facing the police and volatile gang members—and a murder charge. 
   
  Heat is building in the Rancho Tajuata Housing Projects, and not just because it’s summer in L.A. An immigrant family is firebombed and killed in their apartment.  
   
  Rage threatens to explode. The pressure is on to solve the murders quickly, lest more death and destruction follow. 
   
  At the request of the controversial onsite security force, P.I. Ivan Monk is called in to investigate. In tracking down the killer, Monk delves into a tangled history involving the Rancho, going back to the aftermath of the 1965 Watts riots and decades of bureaucratic corruption and racist policy decisions that affected South Central. As Monk navigates the complexities of Black and Brown conflict in the neighborhood, he finds himself at odds with the law, disillusioned with his friend and mentor, and, after a fierce fight with some thugs, under indictment for murder. He must race to not only clear his name, but prevent another bad night from falling on the Rancho for good.

  The resurgence of the Irish brotherhood. An unidentified woman's body spilling out of a steamer trunk with freezer burn on her arms. The beginning of a new export industry for New Zealand that brought the country out of recession. An untimely earthquake. And a case with too many threads for Mr. Hardy. 
  Sent to the Wellington docks to watch for members of the Irish Brotherhood, Constable Foster narrowly avoids death -- twice in one day. But when a body spills from a broken steamer trunk bound for Napier, and Foster's mate dies from a poisoned pie intended for Foster, Mr. Hardy is sent down to Wellington to investigate. The mustering on sheep from the north east, the slaughterhouse near the docks, and the new technology for freezing meat to transport it by sea, all have his attention. 
  Mr. Hardy now has several mysteries to investigate. Who is trying to kill Constable Foster, and who killed the young woman in the sea chest? Who was the young woman in the chest? Meanwhile, Beatrice and Aroha bond over a mysterious kidnapping, but will never agree on the issue of clothing.
