Reed Solliday is a Chicago Fire Marshall who's seen a lot
of fires, many with loss of life. The death and destruction
that's recently started in his territory is shocking,
hideous and escalating.
Detective Mia Mitchell is back on duty after a gunshot
wound. Her boss pairs her with Reed to investigate this
killer who sets fires to his victims' residences.
Uncomfortable with each other at first, Mia and Reed
grudgingly discover respect for each other, comfort in each
other and love for each other. However, each has so much
baggage that they feel it's best to walk away as soon as
their investigation is completed. An additional
complication is their differing philosophy on what makes a
person commit these murders.
Mia has escaped death several times. The killer wants to
make sure that her mortality is a sure thing this time.
Reed wants to make sure that doesn't happen.
I could not wait to read this book. I knew I wouldn't be
disappointed and I wasn't. Karen Rose has the
creative talent to capture not only the pain and fear of
the victims, but even more so the grotesque sickness of the
killer. Her characters are solid and emotional, the plot is
riveting and the suspense is like a rollercoaster gone
wild, building and building speed until it finally stops
and all you can say is "wow."
CLOSE YOUR EYES
In all his years in the Chicago Fire Department, Lieutenant
Reed Solliday ahs never experienced anything like this
recent outbreak of house fires – devastating, vicious and
in one case, homicidal. He has another problem – his new
partner, Detective Mia Mitchell. She’s brash, bossy, and
taking the case in a direction he never imagined.
HOLD YOUR BREATH
Mia’s instincts tell her the arsonist is making this
personal. And as the infernos become more deadly, one look
at the victims’ tortured faces convinces her and Reed that
they must work closer to catch the killer. With each new
blaze, the villain ups the ante, setting firetraps for the
people Reed and Mia love. The truth is almost too hot to
handle: This monster’s desire for death and destruction is
unquenchable … and for Mia he’s started the countdown to an
early grave.
