Fire and Ashes (Angela Richman, Death Investigator, 2) - Softcover

Award-winning author Elaine Viets has written thirty-one mysteries in three series, including the bestselling Dead-End Job series, featuring South Florida private detectives Helen Hawthorne and her husband, Phil Sagemont; the Josie Marcus, Mystery Shopper mystery series; and the dark Francesca Vierling mysteries. She has served on the national boards of the Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime. She’s a frequent contributor to Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine as well as anthologies edited by Charlaine Harris and Lawrence Block. Viets has won the Anthony, Agatha, and Lefty Awards.

The Angela Richman, Death Investigator series returns the prolific author to her hard-boiled roots. Brain Storm draws on her personal experiences as a stroke survivor, as well as her studies in the Medicolegal Death Investigators Training Course at Saint Louis University’s School of Medicine. Fire and Ashes is the second novel in the series following Brain Storm.

“Viets, best known for her lighter mysteries...aptly handles the darker aspects of this series. [She] includes the perfect amount of details about forensics, police, and fire investigations to make Fire and Ashes credible without overwhelming the plot...Viets skillfully makes Angela a likable character who will engage readers for what should be a long series.” —SouthFlorida.com
