Playing With Fire (2012)
“Especially a hospital fire. Arson investigation was automatic. The potential loss of life was too great to ignore any blaze, no matter how small, and everybody wanted instant answers. Beau Grayson was never inclined to give instant answers. That fact, he guessed, would soon irritate a fair number of hospital administrators.
As he studied the burned utility room, water dripped off the ceiling and onto his head. Beau swore softly and stepped aside. He hadn’t bothered to put on his turnout gear or... even a helmet. He rarely did. While he delayed, evidence could be eaten away by flames—fingerprints destroyed by heat and smoke and water; the scene trampled by firefighters battling an enemy that took no prisoners.
And, unfortunately, there was little real need for protective gear. By the time an arson investigator arrived on the scene, the fire and the firefighters had done the damage. Ordinarily, all that remained were the whispers, rumors, bystanders, and damn little evidence. This scene was no different.MoreLess
