It was a final moment grimly preserved for all the world to see: a front-page photo of a young woman plunging to her death from the upper stories of an unfinished skyscraper. It might have been a suicide-but the look of sheer terror frozen on the women's face suggests otherwise to Seattle Homicide Detective J.P. Beaumont. And the sudden addition of more bodies into the mix is leading him to the headquarters of the ironworkers' local, where men of steel guard lethal secrets. It's time to make the union pay its dues-but Beau may need more than a hard hat to preserve his safety.
