Weeping
Fritillary "Tilly" Quilter, fresh from the suburbs, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, was born to do only one thing: Investigate fires. Tilly has a nose for arson, an eye for burn patterns, and the good fortune to be paired with Ike Blessing, the retired fire marshal and arson expert engaged by her insurance company to investigate the Browning residence: A fire on the Fourth of July. A beautiful actress. A love triangle. And an inexplicable corpse in a room that nobody could have entered.
Tilly and Ike take us from a Victorian mansion in Riverdale, to the imaginary planet of Tyrangea, to Broadway, to Manhattan, to Brooklyn Heights, and then back again to Riverdale, as they wade through contradictory evidence and piece together clues of a fire that couldn't possibly have happened. Or could it?
Written by a real-life fire investigator, Weeping is fueled with fascinating fire forensics and characters so engaging, you will want to come back for more.
