He soon discovers that Iris Verlaine, his last client before the storm, was murdered the very night she hired him to find her long-missing father. Compelled to solve the murder amidst a devastated city, Chanse finds himself immersed in the Verlaine family's deadly web of intrigue and secrets, one where money - and bodies - are tainted with blood.
