Since she lost her husband, Gillian has tried to forget his family, until a notice in the paper brings it all rushing back. Raymond is dead, and the Decker empire is being washed away by blood. When Raymond's widow begs Gillian to come to Boston and help her prove that her husband was murdered, Gillian can't deny her.
