Arson in the Park — Sara J. Ingram

The quiet, peaceful community of Steeple Point is stunned by raging fires at beautiful Broward Park. Twenty-something Rex Richards and 16-year-old Eddie Devareau run early at the park each morning â€" and each fits the arson profile. As conflicting evidence confuses Police Chief Kingman, he relies on the clever and savvy assistance of the town pets, magnificent Amira the hawk, and Phoebe the coyote. Two probable suspects, each with dark secrets. Which one is threatening the homes of Amira and Phoebe as they raise their youngsters amid the blazing destruction? And who is stalking one of the town's teenagers? Tangled in the complex investigative web are Chief Kingman's teenage son and daughter. Vulnerable when it comes to his family, the Chief is more dependent than ever on the pets' timely clues and Amira's winged wisdom. Arson in the Park offers a thrilling, poignant, and often hilarious race to the finish, rich with interspecies communication, dynamic scenes, and endearing characters. This fifth book in the Steeple Point series captures the reader and doesn't let go even long after the final page.
