"When a catastrophic wildfire suddenly rips through a woman's hometown, she thinks she is lucky to have survived ... until she finds a dead woman in her driveway, clutching a piece of paper with her name on it ... Alison is alive. She rode out the fire on the damp tiles of her bathroom, her entire body swaddled in a wet woolen blanket. The flames crackled around her, the bitter char of eucalyptus settling in the back of her throat.

She finds the woman's bag. An ID: Simone Arnold. A piece of paper: Alison's full name and address. But why? As Alison searches for answers across Australia's scorched bushlands, she soon learns that the fire isn't the only threat she's facing"--
