BLURB
When
English village, Aidan Kirkwood, experiences an explosive fire, the entire
parish is aflame with rumor and innuendo until Berdie Elliott, the scorching
sleuth and vicar’s wife, can douse the flames with cold, hard facts that expose
the perpetrator. A heroic dog, elusive
book, and military champions come together to reveal the enigma of fire.
EXCERPT
“Cedric,
Don’t chance it. Please,” Doug’s voice trembled as he shot out the command.
“Don’t
what?” Berdie asked herself as much as Doug.
“Down,
Mrs. Elliott.” Doug’s eyes wide, his
breathing was short and rapid for the toil of making his wheels go toward them
as fast as he could manage.
“Down? What are you talking about?”
Berdie
suddenly experienced a jolt to her body that propelled her to the ground with
such force it left her breathless. A
stab of pain coursed through her while the reverberation of full-on colliding
trains penetrated her ears. The horrific
ache that shot through her knees focused her senses as she tried to gather her
thoughts. Grass etched itself into her
cheek, making it itch. Then the smell of
acrid smoke assaulted her nose. She
worked to catch a breath of air. What’s happened?
