Burn in Hell — Marian Lanouette

What does a crematory and missing person have in common? That's the question Lt. Jake Carrington needs to answer. A nervous Mob boss. Lt. Jake Carrington's gut tells him Phil Lucci is cagey for a good reason. Jake can see the case was mishandled from the beginning. Was it sloppy police work or did Lucci's hand reach as far as the WPD? It's Jake job to find those answers. Then Jake meets Kyra Russell, a woman with an unusual job--she runs the local crematory. Despite the attraction between them, Jake becomes more and more suspicious of Kyra. Her gambling problem has already cost her a marriage and custody of her son. She also happens to be friends with Phil Lucci. Kyra assures Jake that it's just a coincidence, but Jake's experience on the job taught him not to believe in them. Could Kyra be burning bodies for the mob at the crematory?
