Trial by Fire: Some Secrets Were Meant to Burn
A house burns. A woman dies. And everyone already knows who to blame.
When fire tears through the Barrett family home, June Barrett survives with her children, but her sister in law, Lydia Hart, does not.
The evidence seems devastating.
June and Lydia argued that night. Lydia was injured before the flames took hold. And June has already admitted something happened between them that she desperately wishes she could take back.
But Detective Price has learned that the most convincing story is not always the true one.
As the investigation reaches beyond the burned house, Lydia's final days reveal a trail of hidden messages, old betrayals and secrets stretching back years. A dead husband's past begins to unravel. An apparently accidental tragedy no longer looks accidental. And the people everyone suspects may be hiding very different things from the crimes they're accused of committing.
Lydia had been asking questions before she died.
Questions somebody desperately wanted buried.
Now Price must reconstruct what Lydia discovered, while June faces an even harder truth: the people we love can hurt us, deceive us and still be worth mourning.
Because sometimes the most dangerous evidence isn't what people hide.
It's what everyone assumes must be true.
TRIAL BY FIRE is a gripping character driven mystery thriller about family, guilt, buried secrets and the devastating consequences of judging people before all the facts are known.
