Torch

The second in a new series from crime writer Lin Anderson. Forensic Scientist Rhona McLeod and the search for an arsonist in Edinburgh.

When a young homeless girl dies in an arson attack on an empty building on Edinburgh's famous Princes Street, forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod is called in to help find the arsonist. Severino MacRae, half Scottish/half Italian and all misogynist, has other ideas. As Chief Fire Investigator, this is his baby and he doesn't want help, especially from a woman.

Sparks fly when Rhona and Severino meet, but Severino's reluctance to involve Rhona may be more about her safety than his prejudice.

As Hogmanay approaches, Rhona and Severnio play cat and mouse with an arsonist who will stop at nothing to get his bigest thrill yet.
