Lucy and Danny Leonard's lives are thrown into disarray when a devastating house fire destroys a lifetime of memories in their Crosshaven home, bringing the finger of suspicion to their door. Forensic Gardai quickly upgrade the case from accidental to arson, concentrating their investigation for motive very close to home. Delving deep into the affairs of Danny's construction company, they discover a fraudulent revenue trail and suspect a link. The company assets are frozen and the Leonard good name is in serious question.
Was it intentional that Danny was in the house when the fire started? Are his injuries designed to add credence to an insurance scam? Isn't his company already in serious trouble? How coincidental that both of their sons are out of the country at the time of the fire? These are some of the leads the Gardai follow, their discoveries terrifying Lucy, adding to the shocking reality that she omitted to renew the insurance premium.
But who can she turn to for help? Is there anybody she can trust?
Eric and Carol Black are the Leonards' nearest neighbours. Driving premium cars, sailing expensive yachts and mingling with the elite, their lives teeter dangerously close to the edge as Eric's greed threatens their lavish lifestyle. Seizing the opportunity to benefit from the Leonards' misfortune, Eric and Carol manipulate Lucy's vulnerability, disguising treason as neighbourly concern.
The investigation is ongoing, the Leonards are homeless, their future hanging in the balance. But the instigator is still out there.
