Spark

Searching for the truth is the most dangerous thing firefighter Donny Robertson will ever do. The blaze at Aziz Energy Systems (AES) kills Donny's Captain and the company's owner, and leaves Donny badly burned. When Donny returns to Pumper 6 as its new Captain, he needs to regain his own confidence and earn the trust of his crew and colleagues. It doesn't help that he's convinced the AES fire was no accident. The official investigation found no sign of foul play or arson, and everyone is eager to put that tragedy behind them. Donny has nothing to go on but a gut feeling, his experience and a set of curious coincidences. As pieces of the puzzle come to light, Donny is unaware that his inquiries are triggering alarms. Evidence and people start to disappear, leaving only two loose ends: Donny & Leila Aziz, widow of the owner of AES. When Leila dies , all the evidence points to Donny as the murderer. Disgraced, suspended and arrested Donny realizes he is way over his head. Out on bail, he devises a desperate plan to confront the person pulling the strings. It's a desperate plan and it will cost him everything he has left. The Spark is a fast paced, intelligent thriller that offers an insider's view of the unique and demanding world of firefighting. Written by a veteran firefighter, the book gives a firsthand account of the merciless heat and blinding smoke, the camaraderie and conflict, the moments of grim hilarity, unexpected grace and heartbreaking tragedy that are part of life in the fire service.
