Summary
Don’t miss Eve Ronin and Sharpe & Walker in this incendiary thriller where fear spreads like wildfire, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg.
Hell comes to Southern California every October. It rides in on searing Santa Ana winds that blast at near hurricane force, igniting voracious wildfires. Master thief Danny Cole longs for the flames. A tsunami of fire is exactly what he needs to pull off a daring crime and avenge a fallen friend.
As the most devastating firestorms in Los Angeles’ history scorch the hills of Malibu, relentless arson investigator Walter Sharpe and his wild card of a new partner, Andrew Walker, a former US marshal, suspect that someone set the massive blazes intentionally, a terrifying means to an unknown end.
While the flames rage out of control, Danny pursues his brilliant scheme, unaware that Sharpe and Walker are closing in. But when they all collide in a canyon of fire, everything changes, pitting them against an unexpected enemy within an inescapable inferno.

Critic reviews
“Goldberg is a master of his craft, creating vibrant characters brought to life through Eric Conger’s voice-acting talents. Perfect for audiences who enjoy a good action-adventure story and lovers of heist films like Ocean’s Eleven and The Italian Job. A nail-biting thriller that will have listeners on the edge of their seat.”—Library Journal (starred review)
“Goldberg returns to the wildfire he memorably chronicled in Lost Hills (2020) from a strikingly new angle….A businesslike thriller that shows how rewarding it can be to revisit the same story from a new point of view.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Goldberg’s well-drawn characters will keep readers rooting for both crooks and cops, and he hangs everyone’s fates on a clever, complicated con. The result is as explosive as a wildfire.”—Publishers Weekly

Good story
This was a perfectly decent book. The plot made enough sense, the characters were fine, the setting was well described but, like Goldberg's other novels, it feels like a TV show novelisation. There are things that are just never explained, hackers who are almost godlike, characters who are contrived.
The Eve Ronin series benefits from all the characters being fleshed out a bit whereas these characters are still undeveloped and seem a bit flat for it. There was nothing wrong with this book it just felt a bit shallow. That said I enjoyed it and the narration was good. If you liked Goldberg's other books then this might be worth a go.
