Summary
Origin and Cause
Cable-TV mogul Stanfield Standish wrote the book and broke the rules in the news and entertainment industry. When his charred body is found inside the burnt-out remains of his classic 1930 Duesenberg sedan, his family files a $52 million damage suit. They blame the fatal accident on Courtland Motor Company, the firm that restored the antique. That s when Courtland s attorney, Max Bramble suspicious, sharp, and inquisitive takes over. His first move: Hire private detective and ace arson investigator Wylie Nolan. As Nolan brilliantly dissects the fascinating anatomy of a fire, Bramble digs deep into the Standish empire, and discovers that the media tycoon scalded many on his way up the ladder. It s just possible that one of them paid him back with hot-blooded murder, cleverly plotted and fiery in its execution.
