Maxwell Muggs is an investigative journalist. There have been three deaths and at least 19 fires set. He and his sister have been threatened.. by leaving a message on two tombstones... showing the future date of their deaths. It is thought that city government is up to their eyeballs in corruption.

Max and his sister, Ruth, take this opportunity to leave the city without telling anyone that they are going to London. Max is to meet his birth father for the first time ..

The story here is well written ... but I feel the focus is of Max's personal life. How they meet, how they develop a relationship. But then Max's dies in a car accident ... but Max doesn't feel that it was an accident. So who would him dead .... and why?

The firebug part of the story gets solved .. although it was not much of a thriller. The firebug is known pretty early on .. it's just a matter of setting a trap. Actually Max's personal life was more of an interest than the crime portion.

There's plenty of action, a bit of romance, a hint of crime ... yet the ending left a lot to be desired. There is a bit of a cliff hanger .. but not enough to leave the reader anxious to read the next in line. It felt a bit unfinished for my taste.

Thanks netgalley. Great story. Maxwell Mugg's can read you with unbelievable accuracy. This is a great asset while interviewing arson suspects.
Maxwell is getting to close to finding the truth. He and his younger sister Ruthie are now on the run. But do to an ancestry test they have somewhere new to hide. Meet someone new to the Muggs family, and how they may totally change Maxs. life.
