Whirlwind Passing - Pyro
"What the wicked fears will come upon him...
When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more"
Proverb 10:24,25
Michael understood the madman lighting fires in their town.
Fire seemed to have a life and spirit of its own, and a brain as well. It maneuvered, it cajoled, it entranced, it enticed. It drew people towards it, as if they were hypnotized, then turned on them with a vicious evil. And, in spite of everything else going on in his life, Michael was responsible for bringing the pyro to justice.
It wasn't just coping with the physical:
"...Lacey looked back at the house. The roof was engulfed in flames, as were the other roofs of the homes surrounding them in the cul-de-sac. They were almost trapped by the fire. The only escape was for them all to hop on the engine, which stood uselessly pumping water on the towering Enemy, and try to make it out of the street through flames now arcing across the road. Once the hose was disconnected, they hung on for dear life, as their engine careened through the inferno."
But, at the fire station, they also coped with the mental effects:
..."Listen," Cap leaned across the table, and he was very close to the glaring face of Ross, "I know what fire can do to a person, especially a series of arsons like we've had here lately. It gets under your skin. It eats away at you, slowly, and every time you go in and swallow more smoke, you think about your dead friends. And then, it tears at you some more. You dream about it. And you get mad, when you think about the pyro going in there and lighting that fire on purpose. There's nowhere for that anger to go."
Detectives and police, even The Mob, all search in vain for the elusive fire-starter.
Join the hunt.

About the author
Nancy Fornataro
33 books26 followersMy 20 books are for sale on Amazon. I write primarily romance, and have "Romance for" series, in Vegas, Dallas and Hollywood! I also write historical romances (at times, hysterical!!) and I enjoy the research on those. The America Gold Rush 1850's really interests me and I've written Romance for Luke and Romance for Kinkade set in that time period. If you like bikers, try Nicky's Fire, a book about two DEA agents agents infiltrating a biker gang. And, be sure to read my closet organizing book, just for fun!!
