False Friend

In this new thriller starring Alabamian police Detective Cooper Devereaux, someone is burning down Birmingham's schools, and only Devereaux can stop it.

An arsonist is targeting schools in Birmingham, Alabama -- with devastating effect. Detective Devereaux -- a man you can't quite trust and should never ignore -- must put a stop to the elusive pyromaniac's reign of terror before more damage is done. Or worse, before students' lives are lost. But as Devereaux sifts through the ashes of the case, a grisly discovery at a burned-out school sends the investigation spiraling in a new, terrifying direction. The detective and his partner are dragged into a nightmare world by revelations of gruesome rituals, the disappearance of local citizens, and allegations against city officials of shocking crimes that stretch back decades.
