FIRST DEGREE BURN: It happens every day in the City. Gas is poured.
A match is lit. Building, bodies and dreams go up in flames. FDNY
Fire Marshal Eddie Burke walks among the wreckage. A different kind
of detective for a different kind of crime. When a fire rages in
SoHo a priceless mural from the 1930s is destroyed and a young
woman lies dead in the ashes. When the victim's abusive
ex-boyfriend is killed resisting arrest the NYPD closes the case.
But Eddie Burke, son of the former Chief of Detectives for the PD
can't let it go. He knows the arsonist was a pro, not a jealous
lover and that the torch is still out there. CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR
FIRST DEGREE BURN: "Eddie Burke is a fascinating new hero. He
blisters the pages. Smell the smoke. Feel the heat. First Degree
Burn is a winner." -Edna Buchanan "First Degree Burn should catch
fire at bookstores everywhere." -Wall Street Journal "Eddie Burke
comes at you like Popeye Doyle in 'The French Connection.'" - Sonny
Grosso, NYPD Detective (retired). "First Degree Burn is a
superlative, fast-paced roller-coaster, off-beat mystery featuring
Fire Marshal Eddie Burke who is called upon to find an arsonist in
a big, impersonal city populated with the good, the bad, and the
deadly " -Midwest Book Review "Eddie Burke leads a dangerous life.
Rough around the edges, trying to keep himself going after his wife
has divorced him, he lives in the shadow of his father, Big Eddie,
a decorated hero retired from the NYPD. In his family FDNY is only
second best. When a young art restorer dies in a suspicious fire in
her loft, Eddie is drawn into a series of fatalities involving a
WPA mural, a web of secrets and an aristocratic blonde from Sutton
Place who may hold the answers. "Lance, a former Emmy-winning ABC
journalist, paints a picture of the city that is rich in detail and
variety. The colliding worlds of rich and poor, parents and
children, cops and criminals, all come crashing together as he
closes in for the finish of this smashing debut. There's no
question -- Eddie Burke is here to stay." -Publisher's Weekly -
