In the year 2179 police lieutenant Jasper Stone is called on to solve a high profile murder and keep a valuable house from getting into the wrong hands. At first it seems Elizabeth West was murdered by someone in her family, but the logical suspect--a disabled son--is the next to die and this time everything points to the granddaughter who had a rock-solid alibi for the first murder. Will Jewel be next? Jasper finds himself tangled in a web of complicated motives, drug smuggling, and blackmail--and protecting the woman who might be behind it all.
