Zoe Mitchell, twin blonde ponytails, long-sleeved pink shirt with flowers on it, and white shorts showing off dimpled knees, stared curiously at him across the width of the wooden deck attached to the back of her house. This time around, Amos and his friend, Alex Jamison, are in the small and forgotten town of Baronville visiting Alex’s family. But even the duo's skills and Amos Decker's infallible memory may not be enough to save this town, or them, from becoming the next victims.

Also, the temperature had dropped some, and there was a low fog building, that, along with the gathering clouds, obscured the sky even more. Unlike the accidental death, the death was intentional, but it was not the same as murder, because it had been the choice of the deceased to end his life. With his football career irreversibly over, he had gone on to become a cop and then a homicide detective in his hometown of Burlington, Ohio. He had used his wet jacket to beat out the flames on the wall, and had rolled up the carpet to smother the fire there.

It was as though someone had placed a camera with a limitless capacity to take pictures in his head. There were, in fact, a few parallel storylines going in the book, and, at times, I had trouble keeping them apart. What was supposed to be a relaxing vacation turns into a murder investigation when two bodies are found in a nearby deserted house. Electrical fires tended to move fast, usually behind walls where they could spread unseen until it was too late.
