CITY OF FIRE

Detective Lena Gamble is working in Robbery and Homicide at the LAPD when she draws the first of a number of serial murders. The diverse clues force Lena to follow sparse leads, along with her intuition. When a member of her dead brother's band is murdered in the same macabre manner as the victims in her current cases, Lena reviews her brother's file, which only reveals more loose ends. Renée Raudman narrates this convoluted story, which is told in the first person by Lena, who is often out of the loop. Raudman's steady voice reflects Lena's even-tempered personality, especially when the serial killer starts stalking her and her gravelly voiced partner plays hide-and-seek with the clues.
