When the host of a popular radio talk show is murdered, the only thing larger than his listening audience is the lengthy list of suspects glad he's dead. Outspoken radio talk show host Jim Fate dies tragically when poisonous gas fills the studio while his polarizing show, "The Hand of Fate", is on air. In the ensuing panic, police evacuate downtown Portland--and the triple threat of FBI Special Agent Nicole Hedges, Crime reporter Cassidy Shaw and Federal Prosecutor Allison Pierce begin piecing together the madness, motive and the mystery of what just happened. And this time it's personal since one of the women was secretly dating the host and has access to his home...and secret evidence. In the days following Fate's murder, these three colleagues and friends must confront a betrayal of the team while piecing together the not-so-public life of Jim Fate. Together, they must uncover the stunning truth of who killed him, how close the killer really is, and what the ultimate motive is for this cold-blooded murder.
