Another fine novel from Nancy Baker Jacobs.

I'm a longtime fan of Ms. Jacobs and hope that"Flashpoint" is the start of a new series. This novel is just the right blend of mystery,suspense, and social commentary.Be sure to read Ms. Jacobs' other recent novels,"Star Struck" and "Double or Nothing".

Nancy Baker Jacobs burns up the book

in this fast-paced page turner. Ms. Jacobs manages to make every word count in Flash Point, her latest mystery entry. Thanks to the author's keen eye for detail, the reader sees the characters come to life on the page. And what charming characters they are---it's a pleasure spending time with Susan Kim Delancey as she tracks down the serial arsonist. Well researched, the author sets the scene so realistically I have a new-found respect for the men and women who fight fires daily.

Powerful Arson Investigation tale

Susan Kim Delancey is the Governor's Special Assistant for Arson Investigations, a political appointment that has her serve as liaison with all the counties in California. Right now she is investigating a series of arson homicides that have taken place in Sausalito, San Francisco, Daily City and San Vincente. She is trying to find out if the same person is responsible for the four incidents.In each case the victim was a single mother who recently gave birth to a baby girl. No trace of the babies is found leading the press to dub the crimes the "Baby Snatcher Murders". Susan and her understaffed overworked team find a common thread even as the killer targets someone Susan loves more than life itself.Nancy Baker Jacobs has a winning new series if FLASH POINT is any indication. The heroine is impossible not to like as she races from one horrific crime scene to another to find some answers that will stop a killer before he strikes again. There are enough twists and turns to keep the reader turning the pages until they find out who the perp is and why he is doing such terrible things.Harriet Klausner

Flash Point Is a Winner!

Not only does Susan Kim Delancy, California's first arson czar, have to race to find a killer who targets new mothers; she also has to prove the value of her new office to politicians, the press, and fire professionals. I could not put this book down, and I look forward to Nancy Baker Jacobs's next book featuring this complex, caring, courageous Asian-American single mother.
