The book starts with a fear that each of us have at some time....We can NOT remember anything about a certain event, meeting, person. Then in the book it only gets worse when the time, person, meeting, etc involves a murder.

This paragraph from the gets right to the point: "The sworn duty of law enforcement officials was to protect every member of society, no matter how loathsome that individual might be or how heinous his crime. Until society changed the rule, that was the prevailing one, and it had been broken."

Arson as a crime "cover up" is all too common and sometime with some unusual twists as with this book.
