What this book is about

A woman is discovered terribly burned, barely alive, with no identification and no memory of who she is or what happened to her. Ali Reynolds, drawn into the mystery, must trace the woman's identity before the person who tried to kill her tries again. Trial by Fire is the fifth Ali Reynolds novel, one of the series' most compelling premises.
