"Most people run from fires; firemen and cops run toward them‚ especially when someone inside is screaming. It began when a boy banged on Burgesss car window. He got a gasped‚ "Fire at the mosque and someones in there‚" and a frantic gesture toward the old commercial building that served as a mosque for Portlands Somali community. His dash into the building leads to a very young mother and tiny baby in a locked closet‚ and to his worst nightmare -- investigating the death of another child. He must deal with suspicious‚ uncooperative refugees‚ members of a motorcycle gang‚ businessmen engaged in illegal activity‚ and threats to his family before identifying the mute and terrified young mother and getting justice for a helpless child who never had a chance.
