Flame Out delivers an authentic police procedural that ignites from the first page when Sergeant Sarah Singleton responds to what seems like a routine fire call on Halloween night. As ammunition explodes around her patrol car at a sporting goods store, Sarah quickly realizes she's facing something far more dangerous than a standard blaze. The discovery of a charred body and the mysterious disappearance of the assistant manager launch an investigation that exposes a deadly conspiracy involving arson, murder, and stolen weapons. Author Gayle Wooten's decades of real police experience create unparalleled authenticity, from radio codes to procedural details that make readers feel they're riding shotgun in the patrol car. Sarah must navigate departmental politics and budget constraints while pursuing a killer who stays one step ahead. The investigation deepens as Sarah questions everyone from the volatile store owner to suspects linked to convenience store robberies. When her own officers come under fire and a hostage situation escalates, Sarah confronts external threats while battling her personal demons about perfectionism and control in small-town Kansas.
