Case of Spontaneous Human Combustion

Media mogul Ray Fisher loses his life in a plane crash during one of his jet trips. Fisher's cause of death is officially recorded as an aviation accident.

Ray Fisher's daughter, Kyla, is convinced that her father was murdered. She persuades Major Boris Pavlov to investigate the case. Pavlov seeks the assistance of his friend, Professor Simon Blake.

Blake unravels a chain of events that connects an international child trafficking and illegal drug production network, the scandal-ridden mysterious past of the Fisher family, and the enigmatic phenomenon of spontaneous human combustion.
