FDNY Fire marshal Georgia Skeehan hunts a killer walking the streets of Manhattan in this five-alarm thriller and third in the series.

Suzanne Chazin, a rare novelist writing about firefighters and their dangerous work, pays homage to the brave men and women of the Fire Department of New York in her electrifying Georgia Skeehan series.

In Fireplay, Skeehan is forced to collaborate with an arsonist-turned-FBI informant-a man she believes is a master "torch" whose crimes have remained unsolved for years-and investigate the scene of a vicious blaze in downtown Manhattan. As the informant draws her deeper and deeper undercover, she witnesses the meeting of a shadowy group plotting a crime of unprecedented proportions and is shocked to see someone from her past among the participants- the father of her young son. Encountering closed doors and higher-ups who don't trust her at every turn, she must confront a particularly painful unsolved case-the fire that killed her father-in order to unlock the mystery of the most recent fire. As Georgia edges closer to the truth and her own personal vengeance, she finds a killer she would have never suspected.
