Fire Lover

Fire Lover by Joseph Wambaugh is a true story about an arsonist that terrorized a community for years.  Known as “probably the most prolific American arsonist of the twentieth century” he left behind destruction and death, until that fateful day when he finally slipped up.  Joseph Wambaugh, author of The Onion Field and The Choirboys, tells this story with his usual meticulous research and attention to detail.  Fire Lover is brilliantly told, keeping you on the edge of your seat, covering the world of arson, law-enforcement and fire-fighting while exploring the deviant personality of the arsonist.  SG
