Flashover
In Chazin's new novel, Georgia investigates the deaths of two doctors, both victims of fires that show signs of a “flashover" --- the overwhelming combustion of a room and its contents by simultaneous ignition. She suspects the connection between them might be that each worked on the board approving “line of duty” compensation for disabled firefighters. Georgia is grasping for straws when the bottom of her life drops out: her best friend, a woman detective with the NYPD, disappears, and the man found in the woman’s blood-spattered apartment is Georgia’s boyfriend and fellow marshal, Mac Marenko. Betrayal—both private and professional—has never hit so close to home. Georgia finds frightening evidence that greed and deception are the cause of these recent deaths and perhaps one more to come --- her own.
