Summary: In 17th-century New England witchfinders were the bearers of false witness -- and were paid handsomely for theirs lies. In 20th-century Detroit, the pickings are easier, and the pay has gone through the roof. Now, a world-renowned architect, thought to be dying in an L.A. hospital, has called private eye Amos Walker to a hotel room at Detroit Metropolitan Airport to find the person who engineered a lie and cost him the woman he loved. It began with a photograph that Jay Bell Furlong didn't recognize as a fake, and ended with the master builder fleeing to the West Coast and the lonely world of fame and money. As soon as Walker gets the photo in hand, it becomes a passport to murder. He's turning over rocks in Detroit's best and worst neighborhoods, and finding a lot of people with reasons to hate Furlong
