One winter was an anomaly. A second is a method.

Elliot Marsh has refined his discipline. A contractor who signed off on a death-trap care home. A hauler who left a family broken on the highway. Each correction is cleaner than the last, staged as misadventure in places no one thinks to look.

Detective Constable Naya Kaur sees the fourth shape before anyone will admit there's a first. She pulls the file she was ordered to bury - and is buried with it. Her one ally, a surveyor with a private folder and a dead man's sightline, keeps a vigil no one will fund.

Then one target survives. And a survivor is a witness Elliot's arithmetic never accounted for.

He calls it a controlled burn. The trouble with fire is who else learns to read the smoke.

For readers of Jeff Lindsay, Caroline Kepnes, and Jane Harper.
