About this listen
Who poisoned Nick Fagan?
Nick Fagan died from eating the veal morel at The Arboretum, one of the finest restaurants in northern Michigan. His wife, Molly, said it was an accident, but was it?
Molly hires Burr Lafayette, a brilliant but troubled lawyer, to help her collect on Nick’s life insurance policy. But the life insurance company refuses to pay and says that Molly put poisoned mushrooms in Nick’s veal morel.
The Charlevoix County prosecutor arrests Molly and charges her with first-degree murder. Burr finds himself dragged into another murder case. A man at loose ends, Burr is the deposed head of a premier Detroit law firm. He prefers dogs, boats, women, and wine over a courtroom, but he’s a brilliant litigator.
Nick owned the most successful radio station in northern Michigan. He was a ruthless competitor and had more than his share of enemies. Burr also discovers that Nick may not have been the perfect husband and that Molly may have had her own reasons for killing him.
Burr does his best to defend her, but he can’t believe a word she says.
A legal thriller full of suspects and a plot that twists and turns until the last page, Under The Ashes is Presumed Innocent and Murder On The Orient Express rolled into one.

“But, but, I read it on the Internet. It must be true! Right?” Do the crazies on the internet push people to violence and the edge of madness? With countless conspiracy theories at every turn, the web is a veritable smorgasbord of reasons for anyone with prejudice and envy to strike out at the focus of these insane ideas why the world is against them. In the dead of night, a soybean silo erupts into a violent fireball — and starts Detective Max Harmon’s next case off with a bang.
