Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling author of The Empty Chair and The Devil's Teardrop, is back displaying his "ticking-bomb suspense" (People) in this never-before-published thriller.
Every New York City neighborhood has a story, but what John Pellam uncovers in Hell's Kitchen has a darkness all its own. The Hollywood location scout and former stuntman is in the Big Apple hoping to capture the unvarnished memories of longtime Kitchen residents such as Ettie Washington in a no-budget documentary film. But when a suspicious fire ravages the elderly woman's crumbling tenement, Pellam realizes someone might want the past to stay buried.
As more buildings and lives go up in flames, Pellam takes to the streets, seeking the twisted pyromaniac who sells services to the highest bidder. But Pellam is unaware that the fires are merely flickering preludes to the arsonist's ultimate masterpiece, a conflagration of nearly unimaginable proportion, with Hell's Kitchen and John Pellam at its blackened and searing epicenter.

"This is the first time I've read this author and I really enjoyed the book. I couldn't predict the end and it made me want more historical information on this area of NYC. I've already picked up another book by Deaver, The Cold Moon (my first Lincoln Rhyme novel!). "

" Ettie Washington's life and all she's been through seemed like a bad luck but the whole story wont let you put it down. i was won over John Pellam's character. Although, there is so much detail about arson, you would say you ll be expert on it. "

" I have enjoyed all of this author's books. If I really like an author, I like to start with their first book and read all they have written. "

" Slow to start, but what a last 30 pages. "
— Michael, 8/25/2013 -
" I guess that I am getting too old for this type of novel. There is only so much one can read about burning bodies. "
— Ron, 7/15/2013 -
" The stereotypes of the characters in this book were cringe worthy. I almost stopped reading it twice. I gave it an extra star because Deaver threw in the usual surprises that he is so good at doing. "

" This is not a book I would recommend. It started out okay, but then it dragged on to the end. Most of the characters came across either as flat or cliched. "
— Karen, 8/4/2011 -
" Love Jeffery Deaver, but this one felt like it must have been one of his early efforts. No where near the level of intensity or quality as his Lincoln/Amelia series. "
