Table of ContentsReviewsThis true-crime procedural is a well-written, entertaining, insider account of the arson epidemic that terrorized Boston for over two years in the 1980s... Exhaustively researched, the book covers the case from start to finish. We come to understand the large cast of characters' motivations from many complicated perspectives, often in their own words. Why they did what they did is a central theme of the book, explored without sensationalism. Fast paced and suspenseful, the prose is taut not only as the arsonists light their incendiary devices...but also in the dogged investigative efforts that led to their arrests, and the detailed accounts of the arsonists' trials. The author is always informative...works hard to broaden the book's appeal to the general reader... and to convey his characters' unique voices and physical presence. By the end of this wild ride, the reader wants to know what happened in the decades since the case was closed and the author doesn't disappoint. The reader is brought up to date on the main characters in an excellent epilogue.
