In Seventeenth-century New England witchfinders were the bearers of false witness -- and were paid handsomely for their lies. In twentieth-century Detroit, the pickings are easier, and the pay has gone through the roof. Now, a world-renowned architect, a man thought to be dying in a Los Angeles hospital, has called Amos Walker to a hotel room at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, to find the person who engineered a heartbreaking lie -- and cost the architect the one woman he truly loved. It began with a photograph that wasn't recognized as a fake, then it turned into a smashed love affair and that's just the beginning. This is the thirteenth Amos Walker book as published.
