What this book is about
Someone is setting fires in Chicago — deliberately, skillfully, and for reasons that become darker as the pattern emerges. Reed Solliday is a CSI specialist; Mia Mitchell is an arson investigator. They work together as the fires escalate from buildings to people. Count to Ten is a Karen Rose standalone thriller — intense, propulsive, with the romantic subplot developing under extreme pressure.
