Title: In the red
First published: 1999
Description: The top executives at the multibillion-dollar investment firm Morson-Grayhead are among the most powerful men on Wall Street.  But all of their wealth can't help them when a killer descends on their quiet Westchester mansions.  Their wives are brutally murdered.  Their homes burned to the ground.  And the growing panic inside Morson-Grayhead has sent shockwaves ripping through the market. 

It's up to Chief Fire Marshal Jake Ferguson, one of the shrewdest arson investigators in the tristate area, to bring this homicidal pyromaniac down.  For Jake, it's personal--firefighters have given their lives.  And each new victim rekindles the burning pain of having tragically lost his wife, Danielle, four years earlier--a pain that's suffocating his current relationship, Jake's first since her death.  

Feeling like chum in shark-infested waters, Ferguson and his deputy dive headfirst into an investigation that opens their eyes to the high-stakes game played on Wall Street.  All Ferguson knows is that there is precious little time before the killer strikes another match.  Little time before he becomes the next victim.
