Georgia Skeehan FDNY Thrillers

Few women make it into the macho ranks of New York City's Bravest-the FDNY-where brute force and brotherhood are the only respected currencies. Fewer still get promoted to arson investigator. But New York City firefighter Georgia Skeehan is no ordinary woman. A single mom and motorcycle enthusiast, she's tormented by a fatal mistake and her own fears that she can never live up to her hero firefighter dad, who died in the line of duty. When a Manhattan building goes up in flames, incinerating dozens of prominent New Yorkers, Georgia is tapped to help solve one of the city's most gruesome arson crimes ever. Everything about this blaze is shrouded in mystery. The biblical intensity of the fire. Its connection to other arsons. The strange reticence within her own department. And most of all, the eerie, scripture-laden taunts of a madman who keeps raising the stakes until even Georgia herself is a target. To stop an even more catastrophic inferno, Georgia will have to wrestle with both the hard science of arson investigation and the backroom politics of big-city firefighting. The only way out of this scorcher is through it.

New York City fire investigator and single mom Georgia Skeehan sifts through the ashes and uncovers the many layers of betrayal in this second thriller of the critically acclaimed series. Two doctors are killed in separate, fiery infernos that both show signs of "flashover"-the vicious and overwhelming combustion of a room and its contents by simultaneous ignition. Although the fires appear to be accidental, Georgia is troubled by a tenuous link between them. Both victims used to serve on a medical panel that determines whether disabled firefighters are entitled to line-of-duty compensation. With the evidence completely incinerated, and internal pressure to close the case, Georgia is left with more questions than answers. Her professional concerns soon take a back seat when a close friend disappears, leaving behind some chilling clues, and the chief suspect is none other than Georgia's boyfriend and fellow fire marshal, Mac Marenko, who harbors secrets of his own. The stakes are far larger than Georgia ever realized, with hundreds of lives on the line. For Georgia, the quest for justice has never been more elusive-or more deadly.

In this third installment of the critically acclaimed New York City firefighting suspense series, Fire Marshal and single mom Georgia Skeehan investigates a ferocious, deliberately set blaze that kills two firefighters and traumatizes a young rookie. She and her partner quickly find the suspect, a vicious arsonist known as the "Freezer" who has evaded prosecution for decades. There's just one catch: he's an FBI informant. The Bureau is using him to bring down a shadowy group plotting a crime of unprecedented proportions. Georgia's only hope of brokering a future prosecution is to accept the FBI's offer to go undercover with this slick arsonist. But once inside, she comes face-to-face with the last person she expected to see: the long-estranged father of her young son. Is he behind the plot? As Georgia races for answers, she uncovers a chilling connection between her current investigation and a long-ago blaze that changed her life forever. The hunt for vengeance could cost Georgia everything: her job, her relationships-even her life.
