Dirty Fire — Earl Merkel

A SHOCKING CRIME…

Once police officer John Davey had everything … until bribery charges destroyed his life. Now he's been given a second chance. He's asked to join the investigation into the baffling murder of a Chicago couple who were shot to death before their home was set on fire. To the city, it's a scandal. To Davey, it's overkill.

A SECRET HISTORY…

Then, in the charred ruins of the North Shore mansion, he finds clues to something more sinister than deadly premeditated arson … a criminal maze threading back throughout history and a connection to billions of dollars in artwork that disappeared during the Holocaust. When another woman falls victim to a brutal torture-murder, Davey begins to suspect corruption in his own department. And as one revelation leads to another, betrayal is layered on betrayal, until Davey has no one left to trust but himself.
