Now in trade paperback for the first time in more than a decade, #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jackson's pulse-pounding novel--Surviving accusations was just the beginning. Now, with sinister notes and a killer's pursuit, Shannon Flannery must navigate a deadly game of secrets, danger, and a relentless quest for vengeance... It's been three years since Shannon Flannery was accused of--and absolved of--her husband's murder. But while that legal nightmare had come to an end, the ones that jolted her from sleep, her heart racing, had not. And lately she felt inexplicably jumpy. If only she could train herself to cope with life the way she trained search and rescue dogs, teaching them to deftly navigate disaster areas, water, blazing buildings. . . . But then the crank calls start coming, and that's just the beginning. There's a faint smell of smoke Shannon can't place, and her own dog is uncharacteristically edgy. Finally, there's the sinister note left on her porch, skillfully charred, that convinces her once and for all that someone is out there, watching her, waiting. The police don't believe Shannon when she says someone wants to kill her. But when a child connected to her past disappears, it's clear the girl is bait. Soon, a killer strikes again and again, each victim bringing him closer. To stop him, Shannon is determined to unearth the dangerous, fatal secrets she realizes have been kept from her--even if it means coming face to face with a murderer whose slow burn for vengeance will not be denied . . .
The author has a way with words that keep you interested in the story. Plus she has knowledge and done research to make the story real.
A 5 star book.

Over the summer, I had read a book called Fatal Burn by Lisa Jackson. Although I have never heard of Lisa Jackson and the book is long(498 pages)it had still caught my eye. Fatal Burn is a great novel about a thirteen-year-old girl named Dani Settler. She had never met her biological parents. The mother that Dani has always known had passed away. Dani lives with her father Travis Settler. While trying to find out information about her "real" parent, Dani went missing. This book also talks about another of the three main characters: Shannon Flannery. Shannon is Dani's biological mother and she gave Dani up for adoption after Dani was born. Travis believes that Shannon had something to do with Dani's disappearence considering her past. Shannon was accused of killing her husband. Travis would soon be proved wrong. After Dani's disappearence, grotesque and horrifying events started happening. Shannon's place kept on burning down and members of her family started dying in horrible ways. The one thing that they all had in common was there was fire at the scene of every murder. Travis and Shannon both assume that whoever is doing that has to have Dani. In my opinion, this is a great book. Fatal Burn is a very exhilarating and undescribale novel. When I read a book, I need to really be interested in it. If I say a book is this good then that's saying a lot. That's my opinion though, mines may vary from the next person who reads Fatal Burn.

Spine-tingling suspense and dynamic characters from Lisa Jackson
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I whipped through this book in days because I couldn't put it down. The characters and their unique stories drew me in, and though I couldn't imagine how things would unravel the author spun a thrilling story through the lives of these two vivid families. I particularly liked Dani, the teenage girl who was kidnappped -- a character whose perceptions of her captor and plans for escape were riveting and realistic. Personally, I found the balance of suspense and romance just right -- appropriate to the story. If you're a fan of Lisa Jackson, this book delivers it all. A must-read.
Great Stuff Again Ms. Jackson

I went out and bought this book the day it came out and couldn't put it down. Ms. Jackson kept me guessing to the end. I've read most of the books she has written and I'm never disappointed. I can't wait for the next one.
