Set in the coastal fire country of Southern California, Hank Searls' shattering new novel depicts the ordeal of a city engulfed by natural disaster -- and nearly destroyed by human madness.

Santa Barbara, penned between mountains and sea, is utterly vulnerable to the yearly desert gale.  The hot winds blow for weeks -- tempers flare, brush fires race down from the tinder-dry hills, and arsonists are drawn like moths to the flame.  One of them, a murderous pyromaniac, is stalking the brush-filled canyons, cleverly encircling the city with a wall of fire.

Homicide Detective Shawn Ortega is descended from a line of Spanish dons who have battled for centuries to save their ranches from both canyon fire and Yankee interloper.  But when Shawn is called to action he is struggling with personal tragedy.  Suddenly he must set aside his own grief and find the firebug . . . or die in the attempt.

Written by the best-selling author of Jaws 2 and Overboard, Firewind is a novel of huge scope; a riveting human drama about unforgettable people -- pilots and convicts, marijuana farmers and millionaire ranchers -- who come vividly to life in these pages as the fire-storm threatens to destroy their world.
