Description

<p>Terrified California residents face the shocking dilemma of yet another serial killer roaming freely in their neighborhoods. However, this time it is an evolving serial killer anomaly that relentlessly searches for, hunts down, and ingeniously traps his victims before unleashing his fiery rage. Always two steps ahead of the cops and fire investigators, the killer hones in on the next sinful target leaving a trail of bones and ashes behind as evidence. It rocks the criminal justice system to the core as a string of arson murders hits inside their turf.</p><p>Vigilante detective Emily Stone hunts serial killers and child abductors, covertly and under the law enforcement radar, with her intrinsic skills of criminal profiling and forensic investigation. With Stone’s toughest case yet, the arson serial killer immediately crosses her radar and sends her into the dark territory of a lethal pyromaniac’s mind – to the point of no return.</p><p>While following the clues of the relentless firebomber, Stone grabs the attention of a government anti-terrorist organization called GATE that oversees all law enforcement cases across the U.S., which now focuses their sights on her proven abilities. They have very specific plans for her, whether she likes it or not.</p><p>Everything teeters on the edge of reality, as Stone must battle for her life between a hired assassin and an arson serial killer. Lines are drawn on both sides of the law. Friendships and lovers are tested.</p>

I really could put myself in the shoes of the heroine. I liked the way you developed her self esteem. Plus Edward sounded very sexy—if you find an extra like him, please send him my way!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Brenda</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;A Big Beautiful Heroine! </strong>Well, I am a big fan of Pat Ballard's work. I love how all her heroines are plus-sized beauties and have great hunks who love them that way. I also love that her heroines have class and style. They are strong women who can handle any situation put before them. <em>(His Brother's Child </em>is) not only a love story, but a story about hope. How it only takes one person who, with loving patience, can give a person the strength to overcome fears and to embrace life. I hope to read many more of Pat's books. Each one is a treat.&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">A reader from Albuquerque, NM</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;Pat Ballard delivers again! </strong>This book has you wondering about the ending from the first chapter. The book is not what I thought it to be—it is better. Another book by Pat you can't put down. If you don't have the first two, buy all three and settle in for a long, quiet time. Don't forget the wine!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Paula Johnson from W.P.B., FL</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;Once again Ms. Ballard delivers!</strong> Ms. Ballard is proving herself to be the new Romance Queen of the new Millenium. Her new novel, <em>His Brother's Child,</em> heats up from the start and just continues to build that sexual tension until the explosive end. My recommendation is buy the book, find a comfortable place to read and ENJOY because you won't be able to put it down!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">H.
