But when they follow him home the house suddenly explodes in flames and Stella nearly pays with her life. Now the husband is dead and Stella has a reason to leave her house - to find out why.
Her investigation leads her to the office of feisty PI Cheverly Fortuna who has her own stake in solving the crime. When Stella stumbles across another body, cleverly disguised as a suicide, she begins to connect the mystery of so many deaths to her own husband's "accident".
