The blaze that night at her family's pizzeria changed young
Reena Hale's life. Neighbors and relatives would help the
Hales rebuild. The Baltimore authorities would arrest the
arsonist responsible. But as Reena beheld the fire's brutal
beauty and destructive power, her destiny began to take
shape. She would understand and master its terrible force-
and one day become an investigator herself.
But she is not the only one fascinated by the flames.
Someone else sees their power-and is obsessed not with
conquering the fire but with controlling it, owning it,
using it to exact vicious revenge . . .
When Reena finally joins the arson unit, her strength and
wits are constantly tested-although sometimes the job seems
like a snap compared to her love life. But she can't always
blame the men-after all, a soot-caked woman barking orders
and smelling of smoke isn't the biggest turn-on in the
world. Then she meets Bo Goodnight, who seems different.
He's been trying to find Reena for years, and now that she
is close enough to touch, he has no intention of letting
go.
Nor does the man who has begun to haunt Reena's life-with
taunting phone calls and a string of horrifying crimes. And
as Reena tries desperately to trace the origins-of the
calls, the fires, the hatred aimed in her direction-she
will step into the worst inferno she has ever faced.
