About the book
In the wake of a devastating wildfire that ravages the town of Jasper in the Californian Sierras, a grim discovery unfolds within the charred remains of a shed.
Returning to Jasper after years of absence, Detective Alex Markov is convinced that the deceased, a family friend, fell prey to opportunistic murder amidst the chaos of the fire.
