Slow Burn
ByPublisher Description
A prostitute's client in Dallas. A jogger in El Paso. A pastor in Louisiana. Across the South and Southwest, middle-aged men are bursting into flames.
In the Office of Environmental Hazards, one man is on the case. His initial observations point to something in the drinking water. But intelligence agents suspect something much more ominous: terrorism.
Someone somewhere has come up with a diabolic weapon that could attract millions of dollars from the most dangerous people in the world, those with no conscience, no loyalty, no morality. And two women in Dallas—a sex worker and a thief—find themselves thrust into the middle of a conflagration that could raze everything in its path . . .
"A first-class storyteller who can deal out amazing plot twists as though she was dealing cards." —Charlaine Harris,

“•3 stars—rest in power RC•
I love Rachel Caine’s work—she was a fabulous writer. This book, however, was not as good as I thought it would be. Slow Burn is billed as a thriller and it felt anything but that. It was just an ongoing chain of events that lacked agency and grit. I couldn’t even get into the characters. And I don’t blame the shifts in POV, that actually kept the story from being a complete bore…
Even though I wasn’t that fond of this book, I’m still giving it three stars because this is an earlier novel of hers that was republished (originally published in 1995). I think the finesse came later in her career. Also, I liked the writing style. I just wish this had more going on~”

“Not a fan of Caine's but decided to give this a chance. It was fairly alright but way too underdeveloped (is that even a word?!) and should probably have been much better if Caine had run through it one or two times more before regarding it as ready to be printed.”
