When a serial bomber threatens to destroy the only clue to her mother's disappearance, Bobbi's determined to find the culprit—because where there's smoke, there's fire....

The election campaign for Sheriff is heating up in Devil's Orchard, but Bobbi's been called away to visit a supernatural town in the middle of the Arizona desert. The mysterious book that holds the answers to her mother's disappearance has been stolen and an explosion leaves the magical archives in a pile of rubble and ash.

It's no coincidence that the blast happened the day of Bobbi's arrival, and she finds herself accused of the crime.

The residents of this magical town are notoriously tight-lipped to outsiders, and Bobbi makes more than a few enemies during her search for the truth.

She's got to stay one step ahead of the book thief, the bomber—and the Werewolf Law Enforcement Brigade.

Can Bobbi find the bomber and the book, or will her investigation only fan the flames of evil?
