Origin & Cause
Cable-TV mogul Stanfield Standish wrote the book and broke the rules in the news and entertainment industry. When his charred body is found inside the burnt-out remains of his classic 1930 Duesenberg Sedan, his family files a $52 million damage lawsuit against Courtland Motor Company.
Courtland brings in Attorney Max Bramble, who promptly hires ace arson investigator, Wylie Nolan.
As Nolan brilliantly dissects the fascinating anatomy of a fire, Bramble discovers that the media tycoon scalded many of his way up the ladder, setting himself up for payback with hot-blooded murder.
