Detective Superintendent Eve Lott investigates the death of a Federal Security Agency claims officer who was scalded to death in his own electronically controlled bathroom. Labeled an accident, the death mirrors two other recent "equipment failures" involving former FSA staff. Lott's gut tells her these are connected, but her superiors dismiss her. Digging through the victims' case histories, she discovers a single common file: the notorious denial of lifelong disability benefits to Aaron Hyatt, a brilliant infrastructure engineer left paralyzed after a workplace accident. The official report says Hyatt died in a house fire months ago, closing his case forever—or so the agency claims.
