In all his years in the Chicago Fire Department, Lieutenant
Reed Solliday has 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.
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.
