Insurance investigator Charlie Novak doesn't investigate murders. He commits them. But he didn't commit this one. The victim? Like all his previous victims, she was married to his partner. And insured by him. It's all part of their ongoing black widower scheme. Charlie stages fatal accidents nobody looks at twice. But this one has homicide cops crawling all over it. Charlie monitors the case for the insurance company, hoping to steer it away from the husband with the million dollar motive. Then he falls under the spell of the victim's girlfriend, an ex-reporter with an agenda -- and dark secrets of her own. Disfigured by a childhood fire, Charlie has never known love. So he's in way over his head with this woman who's driving the investigation in dangerous directions. Blinkered by unaccustomed yearning, he can't see through her web of deceit -- or escape it.
