When eight-year-old Justin Henley, heir to the Henley fortune, drowns in the shallow end of the family pool while in his father's care, anguish and a ferocious need for vengeance erupt. Jessie Henley does not accuse her husband of mere negligence - she accuses him of murder with intent. The devastating loss of his only grandson spurs her father, magnate Douglas Henley, to use all his power and influence in the investigation. He questions the physicians who called the time of death, he challenges the chief coroner, he demands the best detectives for the case, and he privately hires a retired cop. Enigmatic to the end, this intricate mystery is based on painstaking research of Montreal's actual crime unit and morgue.
