Description

“Jesslyn McCormick has dedicated her life to seeking justice. Now the fire marshal of Lake City, she is determined to uncover the truth behind the fire that took her family from her when she was just seven years old. As the twentieth anniversary of the tragic event approaches, a series of new fires—one of them at her own church—brings painful memories rushing back while also providing fresh leads in the decades-old mystery.

Because church fires are classified as hate crimes, FBI Special Agent Nathan Carlisle is called in to assist in the investigation. Nathan has his own troubled past, one he would rather leave behind. Focusing on the case—and on working alongside Jesslyn—offers him the distraction he desperately needs.

As the investigation intensifies, so does the connection between Jesslyn and Nathan. But as old memories resurface and new threats emerge, Jesslyn is forced to confront the fear she’s carried since childhood. With danger closing in, she must rely on Nathan and the support of her community to survive when she finally comes face-to-face with the person who has haunted her for decades.
