Dark, compelling, and erotic, BURN tells the story of ten men and women, each with a twisted and secret passion, whose lives collide with devastating intensity. Beginning with a fiery public disaster in present-day Tucson, Arizona, the seemingly disconnected steps of these ten are jarringly retraced and connected over the two-week period leading up to the catastrophe. What starts as a series of apparently innocent events quickly transforms into the tragic workings of the characters’ shared destiny. While initially strangers, their lives are pushed together by their decisions—decisions based on desire, insanity, fatalismo, addiction, and obsession—until the novel reaches its explosive and purifying conclusion. Get on board for a harrowing sleigh ride through hell that starts on the very first page.
