Synopsis: First in a forensics thriller series that will &“appeal to fans of Kathy Reichs&’ Tempe Brennan and Patricia Cornwell&’s . . . Kay Scarpetta&” (Crime Fiction Lover). It is a hot June night in Orange County when the body of a mutilated woman is found in a strawberry field in the upscale California community. It&’s getting even hotter for single mother and FBI forensic pathologist, Catherine Powers. Called in by the Irvine Police Department and OC Sheriff, Cat has been solicited to help solve a string of murders committed by a particularly sadistic serial killer the newspapers have dubbed the Burning Man. Each new victim yields a grisly new clue, ushering Cat deeper into the mind of madman. That&’s very dangerous territory. Because Cat isn&’t only following him. He&’s following her—hiding in plain sight to claim his ultimate prize. The Burning Man is out to incinerate the bond between a mother and her child. Now as Cat descends into the darkness of a case more personal than she ever feared, she&’ll do anything to catch a killer and keep those she loves alive.
