EVIL IS RELEASED ONTO THE STREETS OF SAN DIEGO. . .A series of deadly fires rages across the city, claiming the lives of entire families. Helpless to stop the fires, the SDPD assigns their most famous detective, Jon Stanton, to the case. The evidence points him to a single arsonist committing the horrendous acts. But with a troubled young girl as his only credible witness, Stanton is running out of time. The San Diego PD's in-house arson investigator does not believe the fires correspond to the work of an arsonist and impedes the investigation into the murders. Stanton is left on his own to find the deadliest, and most insane, opponent he has ever faced . . . "AWESOME. Read it in three days couldn't get enough of it." --Todd D. Cox "This book was addictive & hard to put down!!" --Jenni Jones "Methos delivers again....what an interesting psychological profile - tense and moving story." --S.M. Simmons "This book is a great crime solving book. Took a different path in which it looked into the mind of an arsonist. Loved the characters." --Theresa Gray "Kept me wanting to read, never wanting to put it down." --Caroline Higday One of the first cases I had as a criminal defense attorney was a murder.    An elderly widower, with no money or assets, had died from a fractured skull and a bloody baseball bat was found nearby. Nothing in the home had been taken. He had no enemies and few friends. It took the police two years to find a suspect, and by then the evidence had degraded so much it was virtually worthless. The Homicide detectives simply couldn't understand the motive for killing this man, and couldn't locate a suspect in time as a result.    So it made me wonder: What if there was a detective that could understand the motive? What if you had a detective who could slip into the mind of the most violent human beings, and see through their eyes? What would an ability like that do to their psyche? How would it affect their personal relationships? And the most important question: What if they couldn't slip out once they'd slipped in?  This is how Jon Stanton was born. I hope you find him as intriguing as I have. Used Book in Good Condition
