South Cove’s local businesses are up in arms after volunteer fire chief Barry Gleason threatens to shut down anyone who doesn’t comply with the fire code. But when Barry schedules a training burn in an old abandoned barn, he is the only one who doesn't come out alive. Jill Gardner—owner of Coffee, Books, and More—smells murder in the ashes. She’ll have to work quickly to nab a killer with a short fuse—or else everyone’s holiday will end with a fizzle . . .
The local fire chief has managed to upset pretty much every in South Cove by giving them a week to deal with a list of so called fire infractions (most of which are not necessary it must be added), so when he is found dead during a fire drill training exercise the list isn't so much who wanted him dead as a small list of who didn't! Jill wants to find out what happened and why, without stepping on her boyfriend Greg's police toes (too much – grin), that way the whole of South Cove can enjoy the Fourth of July without the death hanging over them.
