Birmingham, AL, Det. Cooper Devereaux is caught between chasing a mysterious arsonist and trying to lead a "normal" life with his girlfriend Alexandra and their daughter, Nicole. This is his second chance with his family, and he's determined to do it right this time. Yet, as the pyromaniac continues to elude authorities while persistently and relentlessly targeting schools in the city, Devereaux must find a way to stop him or lose everything. When a buried secret is unearthed at one of the arsonist's targeted locations, the stakes are raised even higher.
VERDICT The second installment starring Devereaux (after False Positive) is a suspenseful action-packed drama that is sure to please fans of the series and mystery/thriller lovers alike. As a stand-alone, it will inspire newcomers to seek out the first book.
