About this item
FDNY marshal Georgia Skeehan returns in this new thriller from the author "who will do for firefighting what Patricia Cornwell did for forensic science" (Lee Child, #1 New York Times-bestselling author) . Georgia Skeehan, a marshal with the New York City Fire Department, investigates the deaths of two doctors, both victims of fires that show signs of a "flashover" - the overwhelming combustion of a room and its contents by simultaneous ignition. Each worked on the board approving "line of duty" compensation for disabled firefighters. Georgia is left grasping at straws when her best friend, a detective with the NYPD, disappears, and Georgia's boyfriend and fellow marshal is found in her blood-spattered apartment. Betrayals - both private and professional - have never hit so close to home.
