Seattle lawyer Matt Riordan returns to narrate the follow-up to Huebner's Edgar nominee Judgment by Fire. Matt's lover, Lisa Thayer, receives a mysterious postcard bearing a recently painted watercolor that seems to be the work of her grandfather, Lee Thayer. However, Lee, a famous artist of the Pacific Northwest school, has been dead for years, when his car spun off a cliff on a dark, wet night. Against his better judgment, Riordan takes on the case. He is sure he is looking for a forger, not Thayer. As the lawyer-detective investigates, he finds himself fast becoming the favorite new target of some organized crime and high-finance types, known not only for the quick money in the hot art market but also for the violence and the silence it buys.
