AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A fire takes no prisoners, has no conscience and destroys indiscriminately. So, too, does the "Barn Burner".

'When horse racing steward Ryan Carlisle is banished to a long, hot summer on the bush racing circuit, he's devastated. Even though this is a chance to get away from his unbearable boss, his career is at a crossroads and his divorce has left him feeling insecure.

'But Ryan has no time to dwell on his misfortunes: an arsonist begins torching racing stables in a string of seemingly random attacks.

'As the tally in human life and horses rises, it's clear to Ryan the Barn Burner will not stop until caught. The police are baffled, racing officials are ducking for cover and when Ryan starts digging into his father's past and is seconded to the Arson Squad, his involvement in the case becomes very personal. And suddenly, he needs to find the answers before he, too, is caught up in the ring of fire.' (From the dust jacket of the intended 2011 Pan Macmillan publication.)

      Note/s:
      • Ring of Fire was due to be published by Pan Macmillan Australia in August 2011. However, after receiving insufficient orders to justify a print run, the publisher cancelled the contract with Peter Klein. This decision was taken after an ISBN had been assigned to the book and proof copies had been supplied to reviewing agencies.
