false <![CDATA[Blue Smoke]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1217909729m/114184.jpg 114184 33 The blaze that night at her family's pizzeria changed young Reena Hale's life. Neighbors and relatives would help the Hales rebuild. The Baltimore authorities would arrest the arsonist responsible. But as Reena beheld the fire's brutal beauty and destructive power, her destiny began to take shape. She would understand and master its terrible force-and one day become an investigator herself. But she is not the only one fascinated by the flames. Someone else sees their power-and is obsessed not with conquering the fire but with controlling it, owning it, using it to exact vicious revenge . . . When Reena finally joins the arson unit, her strength and wits are constantly tested-although sometimes the job seems like a snap compared to her love life. But she can't always blame the men-after all, a soot-caked woman barking orders and smelling of smoke isn't the biggest turn-on in the world. Then she meets Bo Goodnight, who seems different. He's been trying to find Reena for years, and now that she is close enough to touch, he has no intention of letting go. Nor does the man who has begun to haunt Reena's life-with taunting phone calls and a string of horrifying crimes. And as Reena tries desperately to trace the origins-of the calls, the fires, the hatred aimed in her direction-she will step into the worst inferno she has ever faced. 1553106 book 2005 Blue Smoke total:3334|5:42|4:64|3:43|2:6|1:5| 3334 12781 4178 180 3 3 false false Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Sat Aug 25 11:17:16 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 25 11:18:26 -0700 2007 Roberts, Nora – Standalone

Harder edge and more violent than previous NR books. Still has appeal factors of strong, well-developed characters and setting.
