ELIZABETH SINCLAIR (Author)

Book Description

Series: Silhouette Intimate Moments | Publication Date: August 1, 2006

Their marriage had gone up in flames the night Detective Luke Sutherland and arson investigator Rachel Lansing's home burned down--and their daughter disappeared in a mystery of fire and smoke. Now, the firebug was back. And when Rachel got the call to profile what could be her daughter's killer, she could not say no, though it meant seeing, working with--longing for--Luke every day.

There he was, all charisma, brooding good looks and fierce attitude. The chasm between them seemed unbreachable--but close it they must, or lose all hope for justice and love.

More About the Author

I'm southern by adoption. I was born and raised in Upstate NY, but when the cold weather, snow and ice became more than either my hubby or I wanted to endure yearly, we migrated to Florida. We now live not far from one of the most fascinating cities in the US -- our adopted hometown of St. Augustine, the oldest city in the US. When my creative writing juices dry up, a trip to the the Ancient City section of St. Augustine never fails to get them flowing again.

This is a thrilling, suspense filled read. Rachel Lansing is an arson investigator profiler, the best there is, who left it all behind after an near death claiming fire, kidnapping of her daughter and inevitable collapse of her marriage. Now two years later she is headed back to Florida to try and bring an arsonist down and hopefully finally have closure.

The first of many problems arise when she finds she must work on a task team headed up by her ex-husband, Detective Luke Sutherland. Can they work together?? Can they get past the emotions that cloud their perspective of the job and tore them apart?? It is a race against time, because now that Rachel is back, the arsonist is determined to finish off the job of killing her.

Right from the start you find that Luke and Rachel are such a believable couple that has to get past their own emotions to save other women and children from the devastating thing that has happened to them and the body count is rising.

This is a powerful book, with twists and turns that keep you wanting to read more. The ending is a total surprise and not one you saw coming. If you like a romance, suspense story that keeps you on the edge of your chair then you will not go wrong with this book.

The first great chapter in Ms. Sinclair's fire related series. This one is a real keeper, also a nail-biter soundly grounded in contemporary fire science and rich in detail with two powerful characters torn apart by tragedy. They earn their HEA ending with fierce struggles and great courage.
