    This story kept me guessing with fascinating characters and plot twists a-plenty! For firefighter Jason Mondy, his job is more than his vocation - it's his calling, his passion, and the one thing he can count on in his workaholic/relationship-challenged life. No surprise, since he was rescued from an apartment fire as a kid. The surprise comes when he learns from his adoptive mother that he wasn't the only survivor. This sucker-punch of a revelation leads our reluctant hero on a quest to find the brother he can't remember and to learn the truth about his birth mother's link to the fire. But digging into the past is a dangerous prospect. When Jason and his team learn that the decades-old fire was the result of arson, a fact covered up by more than a few of his older colleagues, careers aren't the only things at risk. In fact, someone seems hell bent on maintaining the cover up at any cost, putting Jason and everyone he knows and holds dear in mortal danger. I was hooked from page one, and the plot twists (no spoilers) kept me guessing throughout this thrill-ride of a story. Definitely recommend, and I'll be reading more from A.J. Scudiere!
