When an elderly man bursts into flame at an assisted living center on Christmas Eve—and is consumed in under a minute—no one can explain what started the fire, much less whether it was an accident...or murder. There was nothing combustible in the room with him, nor anything that might have caused a spark.

Now Nachton, Amélie, and Cécilie are scattered and mourning, unsure what to do next. Little do they know that Ewan is still in Overtwixt, imprisoned in the Vizier's floating jail fortress.

When officers answer a 911 call at a high-rise office building, it's immediately clear that a crime has occurred.

Imagine his surprise when he begins uncovering facts that cast the murder in an all-new light.
