This stunning release will break you apart and remind you that we can all be put back together again, stronger and wiser than before. - Laurie Buchanan, author of the Sean McPherson crime thriller series. "Two seasoned firefighters and a police captain try to save young girls from a dangerous gang. Behind the hard-boiled, tough-talking cop and firefighter stereotypes, there are numerous layers of complexities that touch on real psychological and social issues. Complex fast-talking characters add intensity to this action-laced thriller ... readers will be glad to be along for the ride." - Kirkus Reviews The eagerly awaited sequel to Renz's award-winning novel, Beneath the Flames!
