Samenvatting:

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a blazing new thriller about an arson investigator consumed by her family's scorched legacy, by her own secrets and by her current case: chasing a deadly killer.

Strong-willed Anne was fearless and loved the thrill of fighting fires, pushing herself to be the best. But when one risky decision at a warehouse fire changed her life forever, Anne reinvented not only her job, but her whole self.

Shattered and demoralized, Anne doesn't believe she will ever feel that same all-consuming passion for her job again - until she encounters a string of suspicious fires setting her beloved city ablaze.

Danny McGuire is a premiere fireman, best in the county, but in the midst of a personal meltdown. He's taking risks like never before, and he teams up with Anne to find the fire starter. But Danny may be more than a distraction, and as Anne narrows in on her target, the arsonist begins to target her.

From the creator of the worldwide bestselling Black Dagger Brotherhood, get ready for a new band of brothers. And a firestorm . . .
