A serial arsonist sets Hollywood ablaze in one terrifying night. Then a freeway fire cripples Los Angeles. For arson investigators Sharpe and Walker, what began as a hunt for a firebug becomes something far bigger—and far deadlier.
They need backup. Fast.
Enter homicide detectives Eve Ronin and Duncan Pavone. As the team chases leads across a scorched city, two investigations start to converge. What if the fires weren’t random? What if they’re connected to something darker?
When an old enemy resurfaces with a deadly plan, the detectives find themselves in a race against time. The city is burning. The clock is ticking. And someone wants to turn smoke into a smokescreen.
In a case built on secrets, no one is safe and nothing stays buried.
