Dan Brennan and his best friend Joe Lahlou have worked on insurance cases together before, but this time it's different. This time, Joe's immigrant family is involved, and there are unpleasant references to Islamic terrorism being brought up. An arsonist has torched a store owned by Joe's uncle, leaving behind an unidentifiable body in the ashes. Did Ali Farjani hire someone to burn the store for the insurance money? Who is the dead man? And what else is Ali hiding?Still recovering both physically and emotionally from a previous attack, Dan must focus on finding the facts, even if that means an eventual liability decision of no coverage for the fire damage. He begins by working with the local police, but must eventually broaden the scope of inquiry to other agencies. Is it possible that Ali really is involved with anti-American activity? If so, how will that impact his family, as well as Dan's decade-long friendship with Joe?Dan has long been a guy who keeps himself at a distance from emotional involvement, but in the course of this investigation, he learns more not only about Joe's family, but also his own. He must make a series of decisions about relationships that he isn't prepared for as he tries to walk a fine line between doing his job and protecting those he cares about.
