Trial by Fire

by J. A. Jance


If you have read any of Jance's other series ( J. P. Beaumont or Joanna Brady), you will want to try her Ali Reynolds series. Trial by Fire is the fifth in the series. Ali Reynolds grew up in the Red Rock/Sedona area of Arizona. Her career as a journalist took her to the glamorous life of a television anchor in Los Angeles. At the beginning of the series, she experiences the joint trauma of losing both her job and her husband to younger women. Ali is now back home. She finds herself involved in all sorts of criminal matters. In the latest installment murder and eco-terrorism are mixed. A woman is found severely burned at the scene of an arson fire. Was the fire set to kill the woman? Or was the fire set by eco-terrorists? Ali gets involved with the hospital's "Angel of Death". Will they both work together to protect the injured woman? Can Ali get to the bottom of both cases without getting herself getting killed? A must read to the mystery lover!
