Synopsis

A woman discovers her parents were not the people she thought they were. Who is she? And why is someone trying to kill her?

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 she senses 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 ties him to the volatile movement of young activists during the late Sixties. Which means her parents were not the people she thought they were. Who were her parents? And why was the secret kept from her?

The story then takes 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, but the threat to Lila in the present still threatens her life.

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