Meet the characters in Smoldering
: A corpse, burned beyond recognition, discovered during a fire in the servants'
quarters of the Parkman Compound in Hyannis...Parkman's sudden departure on an unplanned cruise...a dubious caretaker alone on the estate...pretentious neighbors...That's all Massachusetts State Troopers Scott McKay and Rod
Williams have to go on.
Scott guides his team through an intricate maze of intrigue built by the wealthy and arrogant. Whispers of covetous affairs impede his interviews and evidence of forged signatures and lies
pervade his notebook. He lived for investigations like this! However, before Scott could begin comprehensive questioning concerning a potential homicide, it is up to Rod, a decorated fire investigator, to determine the
cause of the fire. Was it accidental? Or was it deliberate?
With the nation's eyes now turned on the politically powerful Parkman, Scott and Rod would be the focus of every media story until the mystery of the
smoldering corpse was solved. Meanwhile, Mary Catherine Burke, daughter of a successful jewelry business owner, thought she loved Rod, and that he loved her. But when he abandoned her only moments before boarding the
plane for the vacation they both had been longing for, she doubted her own feelings as well as his. Did his job come before their love for one another? Like it or not, she had to look inside herself, and come to terms
with her own emotions before she could understand Rod's. |
