Fury in Death

The fire is coming.

So is the truth.

Seraphina Dawson knows fire. She's spent her life reading its warnings, trusting her instincts over the forecasts that say there's still time. This time, she's right - and it isn't the flames that terrify her most.

When a body is found at Ash Creek the same week the evacuation orders go out, Sheriff Andrew Lewis has forty-eight hours to find a killer in a town that's about to disappear behind a wall of smoke.

Everyone in Cinder Wells is hiding something. The vineyard owner who won't leave his land. The pastor whose sermon says too much. The wife already packing to run - with or without her husband. And a runaway girl who saw exactly what happened that night, and hasn't told a soul.

As the last road out closes hour by hour, old secrets surface faster than the fire can burn them away - and the truth about what really happened at Ash Creek is about to cost this town everything it has left.

Some fires start with a spark.

This one started with a lie.

A tense, atmospheric thriller about fire, secrets, and the truths a small town can't outrun. For readers who love slow-burn suspense with a ticking clock. Contains violence and dark themes. The fire ends. The reckoning doesn't.
