From the Author:

WHAT BURNS WITHIN follows the investigations of three plainclothes RCMP officers who work the streets in British Columbia's lower mainland.

Constable Ashlyn Hart is working on a string of connected arsons.

Constable Craig Nolan is hunting a rapist.

Constable Tain is dealing with a series of child abductions.

Ashlyn, Tain and Craig have worked together before, a tough case that holds a lot of bad memories. It's been months since they've seen each other, all assuming they'd just remind each other of a time in their lives they'd rather forget.

When the body of one of the missing girls is recovered at one of Ashlyn's arson scenes it's the first hint that there's a connection between the cases, but this is an investigation where things aren't always as they seem and when a police officer becomes the latest victim of the serial rapist all three cases collide, with deadly consequences.

From the Back Cover:

"A totally mesmerizing narrative and a plot that burns off the page." --Ken Bruen, Author of Ammunition

"Never a dull moment. It's a hard book to put down." --Tony Hillerman on Suspicious Circumstances

One year ago, a brutal case almost destroyed three cops. Since then they've lost touch with one another, avoiding painful memories, content to go their own ways. Now Nolan is after a serial rapist. Hart is working on a string of arsons. And Tain has been assigned a series of child abductions, a case all too similar to that one. But when the body of one of the abduction victims is found at the site of one of the arsons, it starts to look like maybe these cases are connected after all....

"What Burns Within is a stunning book." --Brian Lindenmuth, Mystery BookSpot

"Ruttan is talented in the way that a natural musician is talented, making all the notes seem effortless." --Crimespree Magazine
