The Protector (O'Malley, Book 4) - Hardcover

In The Protector, a fast-paced thriller about firefighters and faith from award-winning novelist Dee Henderson, firefighter Jack O’Malley is hot on the trail of a serial arsonist. The criminal paints murals of flames on the walls of the buildings he burns, and leaves popcorn scattered at the scene of his blazes. Sidelined firefighter Cassie Ellis, who is haunted by disabilities from her entrapment in a past fire, is the only eyewitness. She’s attracted to Jack, but deeper questions about his lack of Christian faith may put a damper on their relationship. When Cassie and Jack hunt for the perpetrator together, it’s a sure-fire recipe for suspense and romance. Although this is the fourth installment in the O’Malley series, The Protector reads well as a standalone title. The nonstop drama will keep readers on the edge of their seats.—Cindy Crosby
