FROM THE PUBLISHER-As the only black female detective in the Lincoln Prairie police department and a widowed mother of two, Marti MacAlister can handle a challenge-but even her years of experience on the Chicago force haven't prepared her for the pressure she takes on in SLOW BURN. When a young woman and a little girl die in a fire at a women's clinic in the poor section of town, they appear to be accidental victims of either insurance-scam arson or an attack by the local right-to-life group. Shortly after the fire, however, a young man's body is found in a ravine. As Marti and her partner Vik Jessenovik investigate, they find evidence that suggests the three deaths are connected-and that the fire is only one link in a chain of violence and exploitation that involves girls younger than Marti's own teenage daughter, Joanna. Fear, tension, and danger mount when an elderly woman is found dead in her apartment near the clinic. Faced with uncooperative witnesses and slippery suspects, from a wary homeless man to the clinic doctor and staff, ‘Big Mac' must use her characteristic persistence and streetwise, sensitive insight into the lives of Lincoln Prairie's down and out to fit the disturbing picture together. inventory #22421.
