Set The Night On Fire

Lila Hilliard returns home to Chicago for the holidays only to find someone is stalking her. Her father and brother are trapped in a fire, and someone is following her.

As she desperately tries to figure out who is after her and why, she uncovers information about her father’s past that claims her parents were not the people she thought.

Who were her parents? And why was the secret kept from her? The answers take us back to the late Sixties in Chicago where 6 young people gathered during the Democratic Convention. Through their stories, the truth about Lila's family is gradually revealed, and the threat to Lila in the present becomes clear.

Part thriller, part historical novel, part love story, Set The Night on Fire tells an extraordinary tale about the stormy 1968 Chicago Democratic convention, SDS, the Black Panthers, and a group of idealists who were sure they would change the world.
