Sharkeyes

An eight-week-old child is killed in a nursery fire started by either his firefighter father, his banker mother, or both. They claim they left their newborn alone in his room as they fled the house to get help. Diane Marger Moore, a middle aged novice prosecutor in Marion County, Indiana, who is also a wife and the mother of two toddlers, and Leslie Van Buskirk, a diehard homicide detective inhabiting a ballerina's body with a sailor's vocabulary, investigate this complex murder. Conventional wisdom says the case cannot be won, but these women are on a mission to prove they can get the job done in the male-dominated world of prosecution and homicide investigation. Readers are guided through the actual investigation, interviews, technical aspects, and surrounding drama related to this horrible crime.
