It begins with one little flame...
When a string of unexplained fires erupts across Colinas County, Sheriff Hutch Joyner, his young deputy Jack Foster and his new investigator Ruth Harnett work to unravel a set of enigmatic clues to catch a serial arsonist. Cryptic messages left at the scene of each fire point to suspects connected to the local Apache community, reviving questions around a ten-year-old arson case, the only case Hutch never solved.
The fires draw the attention of the state fire chief who issues Hutch an ultimatum: solve the cases in thirty days or lose control of the investigation. As Hutch and his team race against the clock, a complicated and far-reaching picture of clashing cultures, love and revenge, guilt and greed emerges. When the truth surrounding the cold case rises from the ashes neither Hutch nor the town he loves will be quite the same.
In this deeply satisfying conclusion to the Colinas County Mysteries series, bestselling author Dorothy Love delivers her trademark blend of the history, mystery, and romance at the heart of all her novels.
