The chairman of the firm lay lifeless in the forest, a bullet from close range having pierced his orange hunting jacket. The four CEOs he had been pursuing gathered around him, each having a motive to not feel regret for the man's passing.
It seems to be a traditional murder mystery—the sort in which the investigator brings everyone together to solve the crime in the conclusion. Lucas Davenport is aware that it won't be simple, however.
