OVERVIEW

This is the second book in the Kaely Quinn Profiler series. Not having read the first, I didn’t feel I missed any important milestones that would make understanding Fire Storm difficult. The story is very compelling and I was hooked from the start.

Kaely Quinn finds herself on her way to Darkwater, Nebraska to help her younger brother care for their sick mother. Kaely really loves Jason and she wants to help but her mother is a difficult woman at the best of times and Kaely has never felt loved by her mom. And both Jason and her mom feel that Kaely’s job, being an FBI profiler. always comes first in her life, preceding everything else including relationships with them.

Arriving in her hometown, Kaely discovers there have been a rash of home fires, caused by space heaters according to the local authorities. Kaely identifies a pattern that calls for a totally different approach to these conflagrations. Teaming up with her partner and her brother’s firefighter neighbor, Kaely is determined to discover the arsonist and killer. And at the same time, relationships with both her brother and mother need her attention. What is the Lord calling her to do?
