Meet Jack Coyle, arsonist extraordinaire. The allure of fire intoxicates him, yet time and again, it has been his nemesis: landing in juvenile prison in his teen years, now on the run from both the police and the criminal underworld.
Enter Vance Miller, a sheriff in Plymouth County, MA and a childhood friend of Jack. Vance has a big problem: six unsolved arsons, six houses torched, six families tragically wiped out. Frustrated law enforcement and a fearful public are clamoring for answers. Vance knows of Coyle's sordid profession and figures, who better to help investigate a series of complex arsons than an arsonist himself?
What they ultimately unearth not only reveals the perpetrator of these horrific crimes but something equally heartbreaking.
