A “sizzling scorcher . . . Full of surprises” from the author of the Georgia Skeehan thrillers Flashover and The Fourth Angel (Cosmopolitan). After a fire kills two of New York’s bravest, New York City Fire Department marshal Georgia Skeehan is forced to collaborate with an FBI informant—a slick, vicious arsonist-for-hire known as “the Freezer.” As Georgia is drawn deep undercover, the truth brings her face to face with the one person from her past she doesn’t know she can betray. Torn between loyalty and her own desire for vengeance, Georgia will be forced to get closer to a killer than she’s ever had to before. Close enough to burn. Praise for Suzanne Chazin: “Suzanne Chazin will do for firefighting what Patricia Cornwell did for forensic science . . . A tremendous new talent.” —Lee Child, #1 New York Times–bestselling author “Chazin dazzles with her knowledge of pyrotechnics and comes up with plot twists aplenty.” —People

Psychologists, fire prevention specialists, and investigators from around the US share what has been learned about identifying those who set fires and programs for deterring them. Annotation c.
