The Food Of Italy

Readers and reviewers applauded Suzanne Chazin's debut, The Fourth Angel, and its heroine, Fire Marshal Georgia Skeehan. "Chazin dazzles with her knowledge of pyrotechnics and comes up with plot twists aplenty, " raved People.In this new novel, Georgia investigates the deaths of two doctors, both victims of fires that show signs of a "flashover" -- the overwhelming combustion of a room and its contents by simultaneous ignition. She suspects the connection between them might be that each worked on the board approving "line of duty" compensation for disabled fire-fighters. Georgia is grasping for straws when the bottom of her life drops out: her best friend, a woman detective with the NYPD, disappears, and the man found in the woman's blood-spattered apartment is Georgia's boyfriend and fellow marshal, Mac Marenko. Betrayal -- both private and professional -- has never hit so close to home. Georgia finds frightening evidence that greed and deception are the cause of these recent deaths and perhaps one more to come -- her own.
