A Murder Too Close

There is a hole in the New York City skyline where the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center once stood. Anti-American terrorists destroyed the Towers and New Yorkers are fire-breathing mad. So is the US Government, which created a new Department of Homeland Security to make sure nothing like Nine-Eleven will ever happen again. Some of those fire-breathing New Yorkers hatch a plan to help the DHS root out those anti-American terrorists roaming the streets of New York--and fire is their tool of choice. Their targets: Americans who look different from them, people like Indian restaurant owners and Sikh yoga studio owners and Buddhist monks--people who look different because of the clothes they wear and the color of their skin. People who look like terrorists, right? Dead wrong, says NuYorican PI Phil Rodriquez, who gets hired to find out who is burning down businesses and then buying the burned-out shells for next to nothing. Hatred and Greed: A dangerous combination. Add to the mix the Russian mob and sex slavery and trafficking and Phil and his partner, Yolanda Maria, have their hands full. Then the fires burn too close to home, and bring a murder with it, and Phil is ready to break the rules to make things right for his clients.
