Description from the publisher:
Lt. Samantha (Sam) Collins, a
firefighter, vanishes after a warehouse fire the week before she was to testify
at her estranged husband’s trial for drug charges. The only clue to her
disappearance is a firefighter helmet that was left behind at the scene.
Rachel Scott founded Florida Omni Search after her own daughter disappeared when she was four. She has worked with law enforcement agencies all over the United States in locating missing people. Sam’s mother calls Rachel for assistance in locating her daughter. However, the search for Sam takes her on a journey that she never expected.
As she digs deeper into Sam’s past, she finds out more about the marijuana operation that her husband Ken, a former police officer, was involved with. Working with Mike Mancini, a former DEA agent, and Stacy Case, a reporter for the Miami Sun, Rachel uncovers clues about Ken Collins and an organizational drug ring that is out for revenge.
In her desperate, terrifying search for Sam, Rachel also discovers clues about her own missing daughter, Mallory.
Will she locate Samantha in time and also find out what happened to her own daughter?

BURN OUT is the second book in the Rachel Scott
Adventure series. Though it is recommended
that you read them in the order of release, I had not received the first book
and had no trouble picking up who was whom in this one.
I love the strong female leads in
this story and the insight into the world of firefighters. My own brother was a fire chief (and I have
since learned a friend of the author’s husband!
Talk about a small world!!) and I
love to learn a bit about this portion of the life he lived. (Always remembered: FC F. Allen Hoffman
1964-2007).
I loved the slow build up to the big
reveal. Finding the culprit alongside
Rachel is exactly how I like to read a suspense story. Rachel’s back story is compelling and will,
obviously, be a continuing piece of the series.
I hope that one day she if able to complete her personal mission.
This is the first book I have read
by Traci Hohenstein, but it won’t be my last!
Note: I received a copy from the author when I met
her at Indie Book Fest 2015. While I was
given this book as a gift, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
