Synopsis
San Francisco and its fire department are besieged by the worst wave of arson to hit an American city since a group of whack jobs tried to burn down Boston back in 1982-83. And, of course, the mayor has decided that it's the perfect time to save * by closing some fire companies and laying off firefighters! The arsonists don't seem to be motivated by revenge or *, it's almost as if they find a building and say, "Now wouldn't that make an interesting job!" Woven in this really good story is the complex world of the professional urban firefighter: courage, dedication, humor, camaraderie -- all so integral to the fabric of fire service life -- as they get closer and closer to catching the increasingly destructive and deadly arsonists. The arsonists are revealed early in the story (based on a real case in a city in New England), and as their plan unfolds, we get inside their sick minds and twisted realities. Well-crafted storytelling. The biggest crime of all is that George Hall died so young (4/2006) and won't be able to give us any more great novels.
