Who by Fire
“Rhyno delivers a wholly intriguing mystery unlike any other.” — The Miramichi Reader
Haunted by a childhood of picking locks and tailing suspects with her private-eye dad, Dame Polara desperately wants to leave the mysteries behind and lead an average life with average ambitions: to preserve heritage buildings through her job at City Hall, to care for her father’s mounting health complications, and to one day raise a family of her own.
But when her landlord serves her an eviction notice, and Dame agrees to investigate his wife’s infidelity in exchange for keeping the apartment. A simple domestic case, or so Dame believes, until her investigation uncovers a serial arsonist targeting the very buildings she’s fighting to preserve.
When this new mystery reopens old wounds, Dame must use every trick her father taught her to discover the truth and protect those she loves — lest the dangers of the job catch up to her and burn her whole life to the ground.
Rhynos blend of steadily raising the stakes for his characters and short punchy chapters often punctuated with clever lines or tense moments will keep the reader turning pages The front half brings the suspense of a Rollercoaster climbing towards its peak then the backend rockets towards a pulsepounding conclusion In defying genre conventions Rhyno delivers a wholly intriguing mystery unlike any other
Rhynos descriptive style and jazzlike prose allow him to make a seamless transition into crime fiction with this crackling whodunnit Dame Polara is a memorable complex and clever sleuth who is here to stay
