AS a favor to her most important client, V.I. agrees to check up on an empty mansion. But instead of a mysterous intruder, she discovers a dead man in the ornamental pond-a reporter for an african american publicain whom the cops are quick to names as suicide. When the mans shattered families hire V.I to investigate she is sucked into a gothic side of sex, money and power, leading her back to McCarthy-era blacklists and forward to some of the darker aspects of the Patriot Act. As V.I. finds herself penned in to a smaller and smaller space by an array of people trying to silene her, and before she can untangle the sordid truth, two more people will die and V.I. own life will hang in the balance.
