Blurb:
The midnight sun bakes
Fairbanks, Alaska as residents gather for the annual summer solstice
baseball game. Amidst the revelry and raucous shouts of “Play ball,” a
spark alights and a jogger bursts into flames. Detective Danny
Fitzpatrick, still reeling from his near death at the hands of vampire
Aleksei Nechayev, watches in horror as the man burns alive.
Someone is burning Fairbanks and its residents and leaving nothing but smoldering embers behind. As the city sweats under a record-breaking heatwave and unexplained fires claim more victims, Danny and his colleagues struggle to find an arsonist who can conjure fire out of thin air.
To Danny’s horror, the only one who may be able to help him stop the arsonist is his nemesis Nechayev. Will the vampire help in the hunt for a witch?

My review:
It starts with a jogger
bursting into flames. Detective Danny Fitzpatrick can't figure out how
it ignited and neither can the police arsonist specialist. The case
doesn't make any sense, but Danny has met with a monster before. If
there's no logical explanation for the fires, he must search outside the
box. And as much as he hates it, the only one that might be able to
help him is the vampire Aleksei Nechayev, the monster that still haunts
his dreams.
An excellent sequel to Polar Night with plenty of suspenseful and intense moments. I've never been to Alaska, but I felt as if I were transported there with the amazing descriptions. Especially the little details. And instead of freezing, it was an unusually hot summer where the sun sets for only a few hours. The setting really came alive.
I'm still a big fan of Danny, the gruff and flawed detective. His partner Tessa is the perfect balance for him, but she's just as determined as he is, and what's more, she believes in him. When everything seems against them, they make a powerful team. I was really excited to see Aleksei back. Even more so, to get a little peek at what's been going on with him.
This is a must read for all fans of supernatural and horror stories.
