IGNITER, Charles D. Taylor, 2002
Henry Hyde is the best arson investigator the Boston Fire Department has. He knows the city’s avenues, streets and hack alleys. And he knows someone is trying to burn down his town.
His investigation is tough because whoever is trying to torch the city has created an impenetrable maze of professional torches and hired thugs who seem to end up dead. Henry Hyde is getting a little nervous. He’s also getting pissed, very pissed. Especially when Boston firefighters start dying.
The mastermind behind this assault on Boston is a psychopath who hides behind a persona of respectability and wealth. He has a score to settle with the mayor, and apparently with Hyde. He remains completely removed, invisible while instilling fear and making incredible, perhaps impossible demands.
Igniter’s action spirals seemingly beyond hope during the frantic final thirty-six hours. In the end, Henry Hyde is a desperate man who will let nothing stop him from saving his city, the woman he loves, and ultimately, himself. And Igniter is a truly terrific book by a masterful writer, a book we know you will enjoy.
