But one day, his elderly father claims to have stumbled upon a dead woman. His story is so strange that Marwood dismisses it. The next day, though, his father is run over and killed. Soon, Marwood becomes convinced his father's death is linked to the Fire Court. And when a clerk at the Court is burned alive in his chamber, the hunt is on to stop a killer, before he strikes again...
