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. "
