Ablaze

From Nancy Tesler, author of the Amazon bestselling "Other Deadly Things" series, comes a spine-chilling tale of murder and romance.

Samantha Barron, victim advocate for the prosecutor's office, has her world shaken up when former lover Doug Ruark who had thrown her off his elite crisis response team for disobeying orders, insinuates himself into one of her cases. A terrified young girl shows up at Samantha's office blurting out a story about having witnessed a friend being "cast into the abyss" at a Halloween parade; then suddenly bolts crying that she is a Judas, she will face "purgatorial fires" for her betrayal.

Samantha must work with Ruark if she is to find and rescue the girl before the leaders of the malevolent religious cult holding her captive discover that she had recognized the masked killer. Agreeing to go inside the cult house as a perspective convert, Samantha is caught up in a world where power and greed rule, where "love" is given and withdrawn as a brainwashing technique, and life is cheap if you're a trouble-making outsider...
