Burning at the Boss

Pastor Jim Reezall is renowned as the hellfire preacher always calling for fire and brimstone to rain down on the sinners of the world. So when he dies in a wild bushfire there are some who believe he got what he deserved. Enter private detective Johnny Ravine, asked by the pastor's daughter – with whom he is trying to develop a relationship - to solve the mystery of his death.

It quickly becomes apparent that it was murder. And very soon Johnny learns that huge sums of money – possibly millions of dollars – are missing from charities administered by the pastor. Was the pastor really using the money to pay off gunrunners? And, if so, why? The answers – along with the truth about Johnny's long-lost father - come in a thrilling climax set amidst a raging Yarra Valley bushfire.
