Duncan Mills never thought much about what his dad, a Seattle attorney, did for a living. At least, not until some rather unsettling rumors about that work start circulating, and his high school crush gets involved. Now he's ensnared in a conspiracy involving some of the most dangerous, clandestine wheelers and dealers in the country. Questioning his own sanity, even the true cause of his mother's death in Mexico years before is cast into doubt. And it all leads back to The House on Apple Blossom Lane.
