An extortion letter
arrives at Crystal Waters, one of Chicago's wealthiest gated
communities. It makes no specific threats, gives no instructions,
demands only that $50,000 be gotten ready---chump change for an enclave
where the cheapest house is worth three million. It's easy to see it as
harmless---a note from a nut.
Then a mansion explodes. The homeowners
panic, and want it hushed up. If word gets out that a bomber is
targeting Crystal Waters, their multimillion-dollar homes will become
worthless, a last catastrophe for people strung out from living the good
life too well. They hire Dek Elstrom to investigate.
Dek
Elstrom used to soar high, too, when he lived with his multimillionaire
wife at Crystal Waters, but that was before the dominos of his life
tipped over and his ex-wife threw him out. Now reduced to living in a
crumbling stone turret, bankrupt of everything but attitude, he's not
even his own ideal choice for the job. He's too broke, however, to
question the motives of a gift-horse client. He needs the money---and
the chance to reconnect with his ex-wife.
Another bomb goes
off, and Dek realizes the culprit must be someone who is angry, needs
money, and used to live at Crystal Waters. Then he realizes something
else. He himself is the prime suspect.
