Book Club Edition

Summer in the South Bronx -- and there are fires every night.  A young boy sneaks into a darkened construction site -- and a Doberman Pinscher closes in fast.  Suddenly the boy is grabbed by two men who drag him, hands bound, to an abandoned tenement.  A match is struck -- the boy, and the building, explode in flames.  Two people from across the street have seen it happen:  Elena Moreno, a beautiful Hispanic woman who can't leave her apartment; and the man who lives next door, Miles Bradshaw -- a former Park Avenue lawyer whose own life has been changed drastically by fire -- who is determined to find out why . . . .

Moving from this ravaged ghetto to the Mediterranean and back, Bob Reiss has created a web of suspense and intrigue in his compelling first novel.  We follow Bradshaw tracking down clues, finding people scared and reluctant to talk, falling in love with Elena, risking his life to get onto the site, discovering what is hidden there -- a discovery with astonishing national and international implications . . . .

From its startling beginning to its terrifying climax, Summer Fires is an absolute page-turner.
