When Harvard
University English
professor and
dyed-in-the-wool
romantic Gilbert
Reedy is
mysteriously
murdered and
thrown off his
fourth-floor
balcony, Lizzy and
Diesel take up his
twenty-year quest
for the Luxuria
Stone, an ancient
relic believed by
some to be infused
with the power of lust. Following clues
contained in a cryptic nineteenth-century
book of sonnets, Lizzy and Diesel tear
through Boston catacombs, government
buildings, and multimillion-dollar residences,
leaving a trail of robbed graves, public
disturbances, and spontaneous seduction.
A savage crime has rocked a working-class
neighbourhood of Boston; four members of a
family have been brutally murdered. The
father is lying in an intensive care unit, his
survival in doubt. He is the principal suspect.
Female police detective D.D. Warren,
however, is not one to take things at face
value. At the same time, Danielle Burton is
about to have her life thrown into turmoil; a
nurse whose life is at the service of her
profession, she has tentatively recovered
from a devastating family tragedy of decades
before – and the investigation by Warren and
her partner is about to throw Danielle’s life
into chaos once again. There is one more
angle to the triangle: the devotion of a
mother, Victoria Oliver, to her disturbed son
is about to be tested to the limit.
